The film has a star-studded cast, not including Pitt, who stars as a former driver making his return to Formula 1. He is joined by Damson Idris, who plays his teammate at the fictional team APXGP. The ensemble cast also features Academy Award-nominee Kerry Condon, Academy Award-winner Javier Bardem, Emmy Award-winner and Golden Globe Award nominee Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.
The project is a collaboration between several major production entities. Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films banner are producing the film, with Jerry Bruckheimer, Chad Oman, Brad Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Lewis Hamilton serving as producers. The screenplay is penned by Academy Award-nominee Ehren Kruger, while Copper CEO Penni Thow is the executive producer. Hamilton has previously spoken of his enthusiasm for the project.
“I have such high hopes for it. I know we’re going to make the best racing movie that’s ever existed, both visually, and we’re going to work on making sure we pull on the heartstrings of all those fans.”
What Will the F1 Film Be Like?
What sets this film apart is its deep integration with the world of Formula 1. Filming has taken place during actual Grand Prix weekends, providing an authentic and exhilarating backdrop for the story. The collaboration includes participation from all 10 F1 teams, their drivers, the FIA, and race promoters, ensuring that the film accurately captures the intensity and excitement of the sport. Kosinski‘s groundbreaking filmmaking style, so evident during the enthralling dogfight scenes in Top Gun: Maverick, will once again come into play as viewers are taken into the cockpits of the fastest cars on the planet, and we can’t wait.
