Rush Ron Howard’s latest directorial effort centers on the lives of two real life race car drivers whose rivalry was not only inspiring to the world, but to each other as well. Chris Hemsworth plays James Hunt and Daniel Brühl plays Niki Lauda. The two constantly battled to cross the finish line first, but when Lauda nearly dies in a crash, he finds the will to live while watching Hunt win race after race with no real competition. Olivia Wilde also stars. Rush opens in theaters on September 20th.Romeo and Juliet Hailee Steinfeld follows up her Oscar-worthy performance in True Grit with the latest adaptation of Romeo and Juliet.
