Release Date and Plot Details
Fans can look forward to the theater and IMAX release of this adrenaline-fueled film on June 25. F1 follows Pitt’s character, a former Formula One champion coaxed back into the sport by a team owner, portrayed by Bardem, who seeks his guidance for a novice driver played by Idris.
Behind the Scenes Insights
Directed by Kosinski from a script by Ehren Kruger, who also collaborated on Top Gun: Maverick, the film boasts an impressive production team that includes Bruckheimer, racing icon Lewis Hamilton, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Chad Oman.
In an interview last month, Kosinski lauded Pitt’s remarkable driving talent, indicating that his skills came naturally. “Brad had a lot of just natural ability right from the start… he rides motorcycles, which I think has something to do with it,” Kosinski commented, adding that Pitt’s innate prowess instilled confidence in the film’s potential success after his initial meeting with Hamilton.
