Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Jeremy Kleiner, Dede Gardner, and Chad Oman, the film promises to bring viewers inside the world of Formula 1 like never before.
Brad Pitt is reportedly committed to actively promoting F1 around the globe, with Bruckheimer revealing that, while Pitt typically shies away from press, he’ll be involved in a world tour to showcase his performance both as a driver and an actor.
As for premieres, Bruckheimer hinted that the film may debut in Monaco for F1 drivers and teams before expanding to New York, London, and several other cities. “We’ll certainly show you some of that behind-the-scenes training in the movie,” Bruckheimer added, referencing the intense physical preparation that F1 drivers endure, which will be highlighted in the film.
The film will be presented in IMAX theatres for an immersive viewing experience. It’s made in collaboration with the Formula 1 community, including the teams, drivers, the FIA, and race promoters.
