Brad Pitt 60, began recording his new film in 2024, which deals with the world of Formula 1. Still untitled, the production could be one of the most expensive in the history of cinema.
The actor will play Sonny Hayes, a former F1 driver who came out of retirement to mentor a promising young driver. Still haunted by a horrific accident that caused him to quit, Sonny will have to overcome his demons to lead the Apex Grand Prix team to success.
Damson Idris (“Snowfall”), Kerry Condon (“The Banshees of Inisherin”), Javier Bardem (“No Country for Old Men”) and Sarah Niles (“Ted Lasso”) were also announced in the cast. The direction is Joseph Kosinski responsible for one of the most successful action films of recent years, “Top Gun: Maverick” (2022).
The film is being recorded at the Silverstone Circuit in England. The production has its own garage and pitwall stand, as if it were the 11th team on the circuit, but fictional. The film is being made in partnership with the FIA (International Automobile Federation), in addition to the ten Formula 1 teams, which authorized access for filming.
In addition to starring in the plot, Pitt is also one of the producers alongside the seven-time F1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton .
“Lewis [Hamilton] He is our producer and he made sure that we respect the sport and show it exactly as it is. As a civilian, I had no idea what it took to be a pilot, the adrenaline and the skill. They are athletes and I have enormous respect for them all,” he told Variety in 2023.
According to the Screen Rent, the film has a budget of US$300 million. Only a few titles have reached such a high price in the history of cinema: “Justice League” (2017) and franchise productions “Avengers” It is “Pirates of the Caribbean” .
