Everything We Know About Brad Pitt's Racing Movie
Pitt's upcoming racing movie, currently untitled, is in the midst of development. Produced by Apple in partnership with Formula 1, the film offers Pitt the opportunity to collaborate with esteemed racing stars. Filming has taken place at the British Grand Prix, where Pitt is closely working with racing legend Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time World Drivers' Champion. This immersive experience undoubtedly provides Pitt with valuable insights into the world of Formula 1 racing.
Leading the film as director is Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on Top Gun: Maverick, who has assembled a talented cast. Alongside Pitt and Hamilton, Kerry Condon (Better Call Saul), Tobias Menzies (Game of Thrones), Javier Bardem (Skyfall), and Damson Idris (Snowfall) have all signed on to be part of this untitled project. While the involvement of other actors remains unconfirmed, as the film is still in development, further updates may be revealed soon.
Currently, there is no information available regarding the release date of the project. Since it is still in the early stages of development, there is a chance that it could potentially be released in late 2024 or 2025. However, potential delays could arise from the Writers Guild Strike of 2023 and the upcoming SAG-AFTRA strike, although it is uncertain at this point. In the meantime, Brad Pitt's Formula 1 film is progressing towards completion and appears to be gaining momentum.
