A year ahead of firing off the official gun for its Formula 1 movie starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski, Apple Original Film on Friday made it official Friday that the movie is, natch, titled F1. In addition, a teaser poster was dropped. There’s also a sneak peek coming of the movie Sunday at the Formula 1 British Grand Prix.

Warner Bros. landed the distribution deal for F1 and has already announced the pic’s release date of June 27, 2025 in North America and June 25, 2025 abroad.

Pitt plays a former driver who returns to Formula 1 alongside his teammate (played by Damson Idris) at APXGP, a fictional team on the grid. The movie is being shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competes against the titans of the sport. The cast includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo.

Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Kosinski directs and produces the feature alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films; Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment; and Lewis Hamilton under his Dawn Apollo Films banner. The film is made in collaboration with Formula 1 and the F1 community, including the 10 F1 teams and their drivers, the FIA and race promoters. Copper CEO Penni Thow serves as executive producer.
This could be quite the experience on IMAX.
 
I know they've been annoying the paddock for a while now so the realism should be spot on.

My judgment is entirely reserved for whether or not they change up a gear when they want to overtake :annoyed:
 
A 60 year old returning to F1? Sounds realistic, I could imagine Jean Alesi returning in 2024 and competing with Max Verstappen
 


Guaranteed that Brad Pitt was the 2nd choice for the lead after Tom Cruise.
 
The first dialog in the trailer says it all really

'Our shot is battling in the turns. We need to build our car for combat'

Fecking shite.
 
At best, it seems like it could be Top Gun but with racing cars, which funnily enough is Days of Thunder, so it’ll be Days of Thunder but with F1 cars and not stock cars.

And I agree with that feeling this was something that was initially offered to Tom Cruise first, but turned it down because he thought it sucked or he already did that movie with Days of Thunder or he’s saving himself for a Days of Thunder sequel.

I'm sure the movie will be even better.

"I'm going for it..."

*fast and furious style CGI of rear wing moving in slow motion and making the car go supersonic*

"Oh my God, he finally used the DRS. That's the first time he's used it since he lost his copilot during a testing accident fifteen years ago in Le Mans."
 
I'll just be happy to see another blockbuster level film that won't look plastic, heavy green screened and all AI-supported effects. Kosinski delivered exceptionally well in that regard for Maverick.

:lol: can see it
 
Actually I want to hear some really cheesy dialogue about "heart" and "desire".

"Driving is about love. Every curve, every bump, it's like sex extended for a lifetime. You don't want to waste a single second of it, but you know it'll end eventually. So you might as well hug the corners, kiss the chicane, and thumb those buttons until that engines purrs, baby!"

Meanwhile, Verstappen is in the background just trying to win because he likes to win stuff.

I'm sure some middle-aged centrist dads will enjoy it.
 
At least the racing looks real, but the story will be shite no doubt.
