There’s a new Formula 1 feature film coming to Apple screens near you now the company has confirmed it’s chosen Brad Pitt to star. Top Gun director Joseph Kosinki will be forming the magic behind the camera, and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton is co-producing.
The story consists of a former racer, played by Brad Pitt, revisiting his days of racing as he mentors and becomes the teammate of an up-and-coming driver.
“His expertise is phenomenal,” he said to CNET. “It’s just great to listen to him, picking his brain with a writer and Joe on Zoom messages as they pitch the story.
“It’s the same thing as working with our fighter pilots [on Top Gun].
“He is like a fighter pilot — 12 inches off the ground!”
