Chris Hemsworth’s ‘Rush’ Trailer Debuts With Sex, Explosions And More

Think you’ve seen it all from Chris Hemsworth? Think again. His latest film outside of the superhero genre is Rush. If the trailer is any indication it looks to be certainly something out of Hemsworth’s usual repertoire. Hemsworth, who is known to people as Thor stars as real life driver James Hunt.

In Rush, driver Hunt has a good reputation for romancing the ladies as well as having a great skill on the racing track. Daniel Brühl who was introduced to American audiences as Frederick Zoller in Inglourious Basterds, plays a rigid Australian race driver Lauda.

The synopsis for Rush is as follows:
“A biography of Formula 1 champion driver Niki Lauda and the 1976 crash that almost claimed his life. Mere weeks after the accident, he got behind the wheel to challenge his rival, James Hunt.”

The first look at Hemsworth’s Rush is an energized , pulsating flick, which looks stunning viewed in the highest resolution. The trailer focuses more on the style of the film rather than the plot. It’s a beat for beat trailer showing cars, sex, and explosions, which are perfect ingredients for an action-driven flick.

The trailer starts with a voice over by Hemsworth’s Hunt saying: “There’s a lie that all drivers tell themselves: death is something that happens to other people. That’s how you find the courage to get in the car in the first place, but more powerful than fear itself is the will to win.” Followed by the voice over is the show down between the two men, which already seems to be an epic rivalry that’s left on the race track.

The hook seems for the film? “The risk of death turns people on.” Based on the short trailer, it seems like an alluring hook that will surely pull viewers in. From the trailer we have the promise of a race car film that looks to be all the excitement of Universal’s Fast Furious, with a raw sexual undertone as well.

Rush hits theaters on September 20.
