Brad Pitt spent much of 2024 in the UK filming race footage on the track in Northamptonshire and after Sunday’s superbowl we now have a further look at the film with the F1 trailer.
Pitt stars as veteran driver Sonny Hayes, returning to the track after a long absence. As a former driver he returns to Formula 1 alongside his teammate (played by Damson Idris) at APXGP, a fictional team on the grid.
The film is directed by Joseph Kosinski who had huge success with Top Gun Maverick and achieved some incredible shots and it looks like he might well do the same with the racing footage here. Kosinski helmed the film from a script by Ehren Kruger, following the pair collaborating on the 2022 smash Top Gun: Maverick. Pitt, Kosinski, Jerry Bruckheimer, Dede Gardner, Lewis Hamilton, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman serve as producers for F1.
In an issue of Vanity Fair back in 2024 Idris Elba said, ‘ “I look to my left, it’s Brad Pitt. I look to my right, it’s Javier Bardem. I look at my hands, they’re shaking,” Idris recalled about the first day of the shoot. “And we shoot all of this epic stuff, and all the amazing drivers are there, from Lewis [Hamilton] to [Max] Verstappen to everyone.”….we get the impression he was pretty excited.
F1 will be released on 25th June 2025
