My agency just confirmed to me that I am going to take part in this new film on Monday called Rush, I am playing this Italian circuit girl. I really liked the story it’s a film about the Formula 1 racing tournament which centres on the rivalry between legendary Austrian championship driver Niki Lauda – played by Daniel Bruhl – and British racer James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth). Its set in the glamorous and spectacular golden age of Formula 1 racing in the mid 70s, where Rush follows these two drivers lives on and off the track. The story is written by Peter Morgan and directed by the double-Oscar-winning Ron Howard. It will be out in cinemas sometime in December this year so keep an eye out for it.

There is another film out now which I saw recently and it got me excited in taking part in the film Rush. This one is a documentary called Senna, where they have followed Brazilian racing driver Ayrton Senna’s life throughout his career, this handsome and brilliant driver who has won 3 world championships very sadly died at age 34 at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix. It’s a terribly sad but also inspirational story I can highly recommend watching it for those interested in Formula 1.
