Confirmed Brad Pitt And Sir Lewis Hamilton Making F1 Movie
Jun. 09, 2022 6:21 AM ET by Gerhard Horn Movies & TV / 4 Comments Thanks to Apple, this project is now confirmed. Early in January, we wrote about a new F1 project trying to find a buyer in Hollywood. It didn't have a script or a production company, but the rumors suggested that Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton were involved. Thanks to Apple Studios, this is no longer a rumor. Apple is making the film, and it will star Brad Pitt. Pitt is a known lover of all things that move and has a collection of 19 cars, planes, and motorcycles. We dig his Aston Martin Vanquish the most. Sir Lewis Hamilton is not making his acting debut, but he has been confirmed as an executive producer of the film. The man at the helm of the unnamed project is Joseph Kosinski. You might know him from a little film called Top Gun: Maverick, which is, quite frankly, the best action film in at least a decade. The script was written by Ehren Kruger, also responsible for the new Top Gun movie.

Thanks to Apple greenlighting the project, we now have a small summary. Brad Pitt will play a retired F1 driver who comes back to the sport to race alongside a rookie teammate. That sounds familiar, doesn't it? It's essentially Driven, but 20 years later. The Sly Stallone movie isn't as bad as some people would have you believe, but there is certainly room for improvement. That's where Sir Lewis Hamilton comes in. He will likely ground the project in reality, accurately depicting what happens behind the scenes. That's why Rush was a much better racing movie. Ron Howard had Niki Lauda on hand to tell the story of F1's best historical battles. Ford V Ferrari took some liberties with the facts, but they had real racers like Tanner Foust and Derek Hill behind the wheel. Mercedes-AMG F1 Mercedes-AMG F1 Mercedes F1 Mercedes-AMG F1 It's going to be tremendous fun to cast ten Formula 1 teams. The movie will likely have two top-tier teams competing against each other to keep the story compact. Who can they possibly cast as the rookie driver? Miles Teller did a stunning job in Top Gun: Maverick, but we think Apple will likely try and tell a different story. It's known for its diverse content, and the unnamed rookie will probably reflect that. The movie might even be semi-biographical, though Hamilton hardly went up against a veteran when he started racing for McLaren. We're not bothered either way. The timing is perfect since F1 is easily one of the ten largest sports in the world right now.

Aston Martin Vanquish Coupe Gerhard Horn Senior Editor Gerhard knew from a young age that he wanted to be an automotive journalist. He completely disappointed his parents by completing degrees in communication and English, as well as diplomas in graphic design and film and art appreciation. He later interned at various automotive publications, before landing a permanent position at a newspaper. He became the editor within two years, after which he landed a job as the deputy editor at a national publication, where he spent eight years traveling the world, driving, and writing. In his current role as senior editor, he writes news, reviews, scripts, and opinion pieces. When he’s not supposed to be working, you’ll probably find him working. When he’s forced to take a break, you’ll find him at the movies, or behind the wheel of a ‘92 NA Miata called Kimiko.
