The film chronicles the Formula 1 world championship battle between Niki Lauda and James Hunt during the 1976 season, when the Austrian suffered his life-threatening accident at the Nurburgring.
The filming of the movie was wrapped earlier this year, but the post-production editing of visuals and sound mean it will not reach international cinemas until September 2013.
Australian Chris Hemsworth, who played Thor in the last Avengers movie, will play Hunt while Spanish-German actor Daniel Bruehl (Inglorious Bastard, Goodbye Lenin) will play Lauda.
Peter Morgan (The Last King of Scotland, The Damned United) has written the screenplay.
