He is one of the most legendary racing drivers of all time.And now the life and career of James Hunt is set to be told in a new movie, with Australian actor Chris Hemsworth taking on the role of the Formula 1 icon.

In the first shots taken on the set of upcoming movie Rush, Thor star Chris looks the spitting image of Hunt, with his mop of long blonde hair and in his red racing suit.

The movie, written by The Queen and Frost/Nixon writer Peter Morgan, tells the story of three-time F1 champion Niki Lauda, who returned to the racing track six weeks after a near-death experience in his Ferrari in 1976.

Rush follows the tale of Lauda's rivalry with Hunt when he makes his racing comeback to battle Hunt for the F1 championship.

Hunt, who died from a heart attack at the age of 45 in 1993, was one of the leading Formula One drivers of the 1970s, taking the world F1 title from Lauda in 1976.

Known as 'hunt the shunt', he won the hearts of the British public with his devil-may care attitude and was said to have bedded up to 5,000 women during his lifetime.

Oscar-winning director Ron Howard said of the movie: 'Lauda and Hunt were rock stars of the race track: two absolute pros at the top of their game, in a time when sex was safe, driving was dangerous and all bets were off.

'They were also complicated, fascinating men and born rivals. Rush will be as much about that personal rivalry as it will be about the thrill of the race.'

And the official synopsis of the movie reads: 'Following their personal lives on and off the track, Rush follows the two drivers as they push themselves to the breaking point of physical and psychological endurance, where there is no shortcut to victory and no margin for error. If you make one mistake, you die.'

Rush also stars Olivia Wilde and Natalie Dormer also star in the film, alongside Daniel Brühl as Lauda.

Australian actor Hemsworth shot to fame playing Kim Hyde in Home And Away from 2004 to 2007, before getting his big break in the 2009 movie Star Trek as George Kirk.

However, he really made a name for himself when he took on the role of the God of Thunder himself, Thor, in last year's big-screen adaptation.

While Rush will be the first time Hunt's story has been told on the big screen, it is one of two films being made about the racing driver.

The other, which is apparently set to star teen actor Alex Pettyfer as Hunt, is being made by Steven Spielberg's DreamWorks studio and is adapted from Tom Rubython's book Shunt: The Story Of James Hunt.
