Senna Movie!
Shooting for a documentary feature film about the life and career in Formula One of Ayrton Senna will begin next month, British makers Working Title Films have announced.
The movie, with the backing of both the late Brazilian's family and Formula One Management, will span the great triple World Champion's years in the top category of open wheel racing between 1984 to his death at Imola ten years later.
London-based Working Title Films said the feature will explore Senna's life and work, his physical and spiritual achievements on the track, his quest for perfection and the mythical status he attained since dying at the age of 34.
With the permission of the Senna family, it will be the first documentary about the former Lotus, McLaren and Williams driver, while Formula One Management will provide footage.

I imagine most of you have seen the Top Gear tribute to Senna, but this is another one you should check out if you haven't seen it. A nice little tribute that a fan put together. 4/5ths of this are on Youtube. Nice music (minus the Rocky bits) and a bunch of little clips of him racing that I hadn't seen anywhere on the net before.

Here is the link to youtube if you would prefer that, but like I said, they haven't uploaded the last bit (maybe because it's pretty sad).

"And if you no longer go for a gap that exists, you no longer a racing driver."
My favorite Senna quote. Hope this film makes it across the Atlantic to us. Although F1 isn't as big of a sport as it is in Europe and elsewhere, I think the cult followers would appreciate this greatly.
Either way; downloaded or watched at the theater, I'll be there opening night.
