Yes, this poster got my immediate attention… Chris Hemsworth’s handsome face is front and center on the poster for Rush, the dramatic film directed by Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind, Frost/Nixon) from a script by Peter Morgan (Frost/Nixon, The Queen). Although Hemsworth’s the only one featured on the poster, the cast also includes Daniel Brühl, Olivia Wilde, and Alexandra Maria Lara.

Universal’s aiming to open Rush in theaters on September 20, 2013.

The Plot: The epic action-drama stars Chris Hemsworth (The Avengers) as the charismatic Englishman James Hunt and Daniel Brühl (Inglourious Basterds) as the disciplined Austrian perfectionist Niki Lauda, whose clashes on the Grand Prix racetrack epitomized the contrast between these two extraordinary characters, a distinction reflected in their private lives.

Set against the sexy and glamorous golden age of Formula 1 racing, Rush portrays the exhilarating true story of two of the greatest rivals the world has ever witnessed—handsome English playboy Hunt and his methodical, brilliant opponent, Lauda. Taking us into their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. If you make one mistake, you die.
