UPDATE 4 May: The premiere has been pushed back until 11 August.
Advance screenings are planned for Melbourne and Sydney.
Today is Ayrton Senna’s 51st birthday. It seems fitting, then, that Manish Pandey brings word on the Australian cinema release of Senna, which is scheduled for 21 July. The film will be distributed by Universal Pictures, so make sure to keep an eye out for screening details at a theatre near you.
We’ve run it a few times already, but you can watch a trailer for the documentary after the break. The film has been earning rave reviews all over the globe.

Hopefully it hits the big screen. I’d love to take my son to see this so he can get a glimpse of the way Senna was loved.

This is such balony! They film has been released in the UK for weeks and is already being sold on DVD in Japan. And the movie industry wonders why piracy rates are so high in Australia!!
Saw the Senna premiere last night and it was spine tingling fantatsic
@Martin. Lucky You! Where did you see it may i ask?
Don’t miss this movie. I saw it at the Sydney Film Festival in June but it has been out in Japan & Brazil for months.
senna the best of the best cant wait too see the movie!
I have heard that the movie may not be released in English ???? can anyone tell me if it was or not ! thanks
Erm, it’s on at the cinemas now Lee. I haven’t looked into DVD sales, but it’s getting a pretty good run on Formula1.com at the moment if you want to look into it more.
The majority of the audio is in English anyway, so as long as you get a copy with subtitles for the Portuguese and French bits (as per the movies) you’ll be right.
