.......as he has fallen so far from "Apollo 13". I mean really. A car racing movie ? Seriously ??

And you know you are in for trouble when there are no less than FIVE studio logos before the trailer starts.
EDIT: One would think he would distance himself from anything to do with cars after "Gung Ho". There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.-á-á-á-á - Oscar Wilde |

They have been static on that site since 1995. Just strange.
Maybe they edited a change on the page and it changed the article number. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism. By giving us the opinions of the uneducated, it keeps us in touch with the ignorance of the community.-á-á-á-á - Oscar Wilde |

Done right, it could be done. It's a bit niche and out of our usual track.* There's an awful lot of complexity going on in auto racing; far, far more than meets the eye. It'll take both a talented director AND a really good script to make it worthwhile. Ron Howard may just be able to manage it, if he can rise to his old form.
*Heh. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

Well, Tony Scott was able to make "Days of Thunder" at least look interesting. Ron Howard is just so.....visually bland. Even for his "Grinch" movie he could think of nothing but imitating Tim Burton's production design. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism.

*Heh. Well, Tony Scott was able to make "Days of Thunder" at least look interesting. Ron Howard is just so.....visually bland. Even for his "Grinch" movie he could think of nothing but imitating Tim Burton's production design. The Grinch movie reeked of 'design by committee.' Don't know that it's true, but it looked like a committee trying to capture Geisel's inimitable look. I personally lost huge amounts of respect for Howard's integrity when he weasled the widow Geisel into allowing him to do the movie.
Slimy or not, though, he's got skills. I could see how a flat 'documentary style' looking movie could be turned into something interesting, maybe by allowing skulduggery to sneak in around the edges until what started out looking like a 'day in the life' starts showing signs of unsavory activities, tense situations, and moral ambiguity corroding the 'wholesome' race scene.
Idea being, don't tell the viewer what they're seeing, allow them to pick it up from context.
That might be a bit too subtle for Howard, though. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

In other words, he invented events that had never, ever happened, just to make the story more dramatic. Not very cool to fictionalize, IMO, when you're representing a real person's life to the public. Now I wonder how much of Apollo 13's storyline was just Ron Howard fictionally-enhanced drama. |

That would be interesting to find out. It was such a terrifying incident, they probably did not have to do much enhancing. There is much to be said in favour of modern journalism.

Fair point, though John Nash doesn't seem to mind - Not based on some of the speaking events my wife has stalk... erm, attended.
According to people who ought to know (my parents, both involved in the early days of the space program*), Apollo 13 was quite close.
*My father was asked to take the Flight Director position, but turned it down**, leaving it open for Gene Kranz. I've seen the letter.
** One of the moments in his life he regrets the most. He thought people would die an awful lot in the program, and didn't want his name on it. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short. But scream it at them in Esperanto, because life is also terrifying and confusing.

I sometimes wish the opposite from certain directors, I would love to see for instance, Mario Salieri working on a big budget film that is NOT XXX. His "style" is so well known other new emerging directors try to emulate him. He really makes those movies something more than a 5 minute affair.
To this day I am addicted to chiaroscuro scenes in ****/mainstream movies because of him. Most Adult films these days are raw unprocessed IN YOUR FACE flesh. No lightning, photometry, proper angles, just GONZO obliterations over and over.
Some of his movies had good stories, solid directing (I mean it, making **** actors ACT must be a tough job) and he actually has a solid way of rating actors for their performances in his webpage
Also having a free uncoded XXX european channel in your decoding box , after the initial shock back in the day, makes you start looking at them from a diff angle. I also find European productions far superior to USA ones in terms of casting.
I also wrote all of this just for the fun of it (I also enjoy Apple Pie) Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

You just reminded me of that awesome Anime, about lethal racing, where suddenly one guy just blows up in spectacular fashion during a race and then everyone-¦s appetite for the race winded down, as the narrator implied perhaps watchers were just waiting for a glorious accident/death to happen and once sated the whole fandom died down.
What was the name of that anime? I loved it! ... Inner Sayings of BrujoLoco: http://eve-files.com/sig/brujoloco |

This has been the case for pretty much every racing class of cars. Just three years ago, GT1 cars were fire breathing, burp spouting monsters but today they have all been phased out for mere GT3 cars. For example, The FIA GT competition isn't as awesome as it used to be and it shows in the steep decline of professional racing drivers. Almost everyone participating this year is either a factory driver or some rich dude. I'm left with the Japanese super GT as it's the only real thing left that I know of. |

Dear Sir,
have you per chance watched the wrong trailer ? A '70 McLaren with Niki Lauda as driver is most certainly a Formula 1 car.
It would appear that this movie is based on the true story of Austrian Formula 1 Legend Niki Lauda, who got involved in a horrible crash which should have ended his career. He got trapped in his burning car and got some bad burns.
Yet that didn't stop him from returning to his cockpit and winning championships again.
I suggest, you watch the trailer above the ridiculous trailer for "Driven".
