Re: Bruce McLaren Movie

I wish them all the best....unfortunately motorsports stories don't seem to translate well on the big screen. They either pay a big name to star (Elvis, Tom Cruise, Sly Stallone) which immediately takes focus away from the story.
Or the story is so poorly written that nobody cares (Bobby Dangerfield, etc).

I hope they cast a bunch of unknowns, and hire the best screenwriters
possible to tell the true human story of Bruce and not get lost in the race/crash sequences.

The Worlds Fastest Indian is a good example how to do it right.
A really good movie.
