Rush UK release: new features

After what seemed like interminable waiting, the Rush film - which follows the famous James Hunt-Niki Lauda rivalry of the 1976 F1 season - was released in the UK today. And to celebrate this StudioCanal has make available two new behind the scenes featurettes as well as a new clip.

And here they are. First of all here below is a clip from the film of Lauda and Hunt answering press questions prior to the season-ending Japanese Grand Prix.



Here's a featurette about putting the film's amazing on-track scenes together, specifically the wet race of Fuji in Japan (though you'll note that they filmed it at Snetterton!)



Here's one on the help Niki Luada gave to the film, specifically to Daniel Brühl who portrayed the great Austrian, and did so wonderfully.



And if that's all not enough here's the close to two hours' footage of the Rush premiere in London's Leicester Square.



And of course if you want to read my review of the Rush film then you can here.
