Ayrton Senna the Movie

[TopGearNL]

You don't have to be a huge F1 fan to know there was something special about Ayrton Senna, and a new movie sanctioned by his family and the Ayrton Senna foundation aims to celebrate his life as a racer.

It amazes me, the lack of movies about him. You either thought he was a genius or a jackass, but you thought of him. How many amazing drivers have we seen fall by the way side because despite their consistency in the points or podiums, they did nothing to call attention to themselves, either good or bad. Nick Heidfeld is the most recent in memory.

hope this isn't a hoax.

Looks so professional and with the family and foundation behind it I think this is for real

There is a film in production at the moment about the life of Ayrton Senna, which is due to come out in cinemas in the Autumn.
I   was the first journalist to see it and I’ve now seen it twice, the most   recent occasion with Martin Brundle, Senna’s rival from British F3   days, shortly before the Silverstone weekend. He liked it as much as I   did.

   It is an absolutely fantastic film and I’m sure that not only are F1   fans going to be blown away by it, but it will cross-over into the   mainstream with many non F1 fans, especially women, drawn to the   poignant human interest story at the heart of it.
The film is   being made by Working Title, the leading British movie company who made   most of the classic British films of recent years like Bridget Jones,   Notting Hill and Pride and Prejudice.
Directed by BAFTA winner   Asif Kapadia, this is a different kind of film, a feature length   documentary. It uses original archive footage and footage from FOM as   well as family movies. The material knits together very well and there   are no talking heads telling the story, only actual footage with some   voice-only interviews. It is a film about Senna in Senna’s own words to a   large extent.
The project has the backing and co-operation of the   Senna family, Bernie Ecclestone as well as key figures in the story   like Ron Dennis and Frank Williams.
“Neither the Senna family nor   Bernie Ecclestone have ever sanctioned such a project for the cinema   before and we have made the film with unprecedented access to FOM and   the family archive,” said writer Manish Pandey.
I’ll try to get a JA on F1 event together later this year for fans to view the film and talk with the film-makers.

I might have to check that out.  Thanks for the heads up.  Encino is a little out of my way, but this may be worth the drive.

Great film, amazing documentary. Very well made, but they did leave out some things. It's really a tribute to Senna.

Thanks again goodduck!
