F1 Movie time again...
"Superswede is currently shooting in Örebro, Sweden, Monza, Italy, and London; it will be released in autumn 2017."
Director Henrik Jansson-Schweizer said: “It’s an amazing love story [between Ronnie and his wife Barbro]. They both tried to fit in, in a strange world of money and glory. They were unseparable through the hard times resulting from Ronnie’s way of challenging the unwritten rules of the racing world.”

As it is a documentary I don't think it will be that bad, just a sales pitch to bring in a wider audience.
They were doing some filming here in Örebro today at a local motoring event.

I don't know if they filmed much of that, since he was going a bit faster than most of the others (in a repainted C32) they kept everyone safely outside the safety barriers then.
When the Lotus 76 and the 79 were running, a film crew were on the "track" a lot closer to the cars, but mostly I think it was the event itself they were filming. Ronnie's daughter and brother were there, so some interviews with appropriate ambiance possibly.

The place for this event, Örebro, is both Ronnies and Marcus home town. In case someone didn't know.

My theory about every racing driver eventually getting their own movie appears to be coming true.
How long until we get Anne Hathaway in the Danica Patrick biopic?

The only way you can get budgets for movies about this kind of thing is to include some nonsense to attract non motorsport fans, it's a harder sell otherwise. it depends what they want to do really? You can make movies about motorsport and make them about individuals and make them very good, the Dunlop bike dynasty one is excellent, the Faster series are too. But did they make a bunch at cinemas? not sure.
But the Hunt/Lauda one was bang on because it focused on rivalry and two amazingly contrasting people, and also a period that everyone remembers.
The only movie I think left is a Prost/Senna one. That shows BOTH sides, not one utterly biased and rather pathetically biased one with blokes who worshipped him brought in as so called experts. there needs to be a movie about that period for me. That rivals Hunt/Lauda even more doesn't it? Senna appealed to non race fans as it showed the side of him that WE all knew about but non fans did not, The intensity, the worship and almost unsettling belief in himself and God, the childlikeness, and the desire.
There is a Sheene movie coming, that is an obvious choice, and for me the early 90's Rainey/Schwantz might get close. But unlikely.
Ronnie was a talent, and his story was great, but it isn't in the same league as the ones mentioned above in terms of its ability to sell a story to wide audience.

Oh I can't wait for the Hamilton movie in 20-30 years then ;)All racing movies are love stories.
Agree with that. One could assume that this shouldnt be too difficult given that Prost is stil living, but obviously the other side of the fence had no interest to keep it neutral. Hopefully we'll get to see something balanced about this in the future: would be epic!The only movie I think left is a Prost/Senna one.

If you get the extended version of the DVD there is a decent interview with Alain on one of the extras sections where he does go into a fair bit of detail about a lot of things.
They just were not shown on the released movies where he was depicted as the enemy and the one in cahoots with Balestre, a person who he certainly was more pally with than Senna.
It also sheds light on his Williams deal and Ayrtons!
Also, the Steve Ryder interview for the SKY Senna thing bI think really hits a lot of points home. He even mentions there not watching the film I think!!

Let's keep this about the Peterson documentary please.

Someone mentioned it, the thread developed.
A Peterson movie has little interest worldwide unless there is an angle, the angle here is a love story. Loose at best.
Am sure his story is fascinating to race fans but a hard sell to any move production company unless they are Swedish, or mad about F1 in the 70's which is a possibility.

Maybe a biopic about Zanardi would work.....F1 & Indycar career, life-threatening accident, racing post-accident and paralympic gold medal winning athlete
The man is a legend, an inspiration to most of us

I think Zanardi's story is worthy of a movie, but let's be honest, he hasn't finished achieving yet!!

I saw it yesterday and can highly recommend it. There is tons of beautiful footage in high quality from the seventies. The two aspects of the documentary is Ronnie and Barbros life and the safety of F1. There are interviews from the period with Ronnie, Jackie Stewart, Francois Cevert, and recent interviews with friends and fellow Swedish racing drivers of the time. Also Jackie Stewart, Emerson Fittipaldi, Mario Andrette, John Watson, Niki Lauda are interviewed and express their opinion about Ronnie and the general safety. The documentary is not out to blame anyone or explain why he died. We also meet his daughter and her children at Örebro race day 2016 meeting up with Clive Chapman.
It is basically 1½ hours of this and it does not get boring.
This was on the Sky documentary channel this afternoon and I agree with all of this. Always startling to see Monaco before it was so built up, including footage of the race through the tunnel was fully completed, for example. Peterson comes across as a decent, likeable very fast driver, much missed by all. Poignant in its inclusion of interviews from Lauda who is one of those people who seemed so vital, I sort of keep being surprised isn’t actually with us any more. In addition to the interviews mentioned in the above excellent review, we also hear from Jody Scheckter.
