A Hollywood movie about Niki Lauda will be called ‘Rush’.<\/p>\n
We reported in April that British script writer Peter Morgan, best known for The Queen and Frost\/Nixon, was working on a screenplay to immortalise F1’s 1976 season.<\/p>\n
35 years ago, Austrian great Lauda almost burned to death in a fiery crash but returned six weeks later to battle James Hunt for the title.<\/p>\n
It was recently believed that Bourne Ultimatum and Green Zone director Paul Greengrass would direct Rush, but the LA Times quotes a source as saying The Da Vinci Code’s Ron Howard is now being touted to lead the project.<\/p>\n
The film, having gained the financial backing for the project, “aims to shoot this year in Europe”, added the report.<\/p>\n
