"Rush" Trailer leaves me excited but a little dubious

I'm definitely still very excited about Ron Howard's new film about the 1976 F1 season. The footage in the trailer looks great. But I wish they had cast someone for James Hunt who looked less like a boy and more like a man--someone who has more edge and less pretty. Hunt was a handsome guy but when you look at him in photos, he's a wolf...that doesn't come through here.

The CGI looks good, but I sort of feel like there are a few too many "video game" angles that actually take me out of it. I wish they would have just made some simple replica cars and staged a real accident with radio control as they did in "Le Mans" in 1971. It would look better than any CGI...

As long as its miles better than "Driven", we should be ok (which by the looks of things it will be). Yeah I wonder if making replica's and crashing them would have been better on the budget rather than all the work with hours and hours on the CGI. Please be goood!!!!

It won't take much to top Driven. That was a steaming pile of crap.
