F1 director Joseph Kosinski explains why Tom Cruise was never a real option for the film's leading star.

Speaking to Variety, Kosinski responded to the notion of having Tom Cruise star in the upcoming F1 film over Brad Pitt, saying, "Tom always pushes it to the limit, but at the same time is super capable and very skilled. They both have the natural talent for driving. But yeah, I could see Tom maybe scaring us a little bit more."

Action-vehicle supervisor Graham Kelly agreed with Kosinski's take on the situation, adding, "We'd have had a crash." Kelly went on to recall his personal experiences working with Cruise on the Mission Impossible film series, noting that "Tom pushes it to the limit. I mean really to the limit. That terrifies me. I mean, I’ve done loads of Mission: Impossibles with Tom and it’s the most stressful experience for someone...

Man of Steel actor Henry Cavill has wrapped up filming Rawson Marshall Thurber’s film adaptation of the 1980s animated TV series Voltron. Cavill joined the film in October 2024, appearing in a supporting role alongside newcomer Daniel Quinn-Toye. The filming began in Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia, in December 2024.

Thurber earlier revealed that he was going to stay true to the spirit of the original TV series. Cavill is playing King Alfor, while Quinn-Toye plays the role of Shiro. While it was reported that the film will be released on Prime Video, the latest message seems to suggest otherwise.

Henry Cavill‘s Voltron is going to be a faithful adaptation of the 1980s TV series of the same name. Red Notice fame Rawson Marshall Thurber helmed this film,...

The live-action adaptation of Voltron, starring Henry Cavill, is bound to make its way to Prime Video anytime soon. Filming for the sci-fi feature began in December 2024, and it won't be long till a release date is announced. But according to the latest reports, this star-studded feature, which includes the talents of Rita Ora, Sterling K. Brown, and John Kim, will be a streaming exclusive.

In April 2025, Prime Video released a statement that it plans to release 14 movies in 2026 and noted that the streaming giant has brought out "five to eight" movies per year in the past. But despite their commitment to bringing their exclusives to the cinema, it was recently reported that there are no plans to bring the Voltron movie to theaters and that it will be a Prime Video exclusive.

Former Man of Steel and The Witcher, Henry Cavill, has several major projects in the works for Amazon. One such project is the live-action Voltron movie which, despite being something with major blockbuster potential, could suffer a somewhat unceremonious streaming fate.

No release date has yet been revealed for the Voltron adaptation, but the movie has amassed a star-studded cast for director Rawson Marshall Thurber’s sci-fi action outing. Despite all this, a new report (via GameRant) claims that Amazon is not planning to release Voltron in theaters, and will instead give the movie a straight-to-streaming release, much like Jake Gyllenhaal and Doug Liman’s Road House remake last year.

The insight claims that, with filming having wrapped last month, Amazon is now looking to release Voltron “straight to their Prime Video streaming service,” and thus go back on their previous “commitment to theatrical exhibition.” This is sure to be...

From the director of Top Gun Maverick comes F1, with Brad Pitt in the lead role. Here’s the new trailer for the film.

Is Joseph Kosinski’s F1 one of the most important films of the summer? There’s certainly a case to be made that the film – which launches next month – is pivotal in determining the future of Apple’s experiment with theatrical releases, which in turn could have a meaningful impact on the theatrical industry as a whole.

With the studio’s previous major cinema releases – Killers Of The Flower Moon, Napoleon, Argylle – not really succeeding in their desired aims as either awards magnets or box office successes, there are some that are speculating that Apple's future box office plans hinge on the success of F1.

The project certainly has pedigree behind it, not to mention a lot of money from Apple Original FIlms.

F1 is directed...

F1 The Movie, starring Brad Pitt, has a new trailer!

Joseph Kosinski directed the film, which also features Javier Bardem, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, Shea Wigham, Joseph Balderrama, Sarah Niles, Samson Kayo, Callie Cooke and Layne Harper.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Pitt) was Formula 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Bardem), owner of a struggling Formula 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to Formula 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past...

Brad Pitt’s Apple film F1 has a finish line in sight as well as other important details about the making of the movie that will interest viewers.

The film, made in partnership with Formula 1 and its 10 teams, will arrive in 2025 with real racing world experts behind the product as well as big-name movie makers.

Read on for everything we know about Apple’s Brad Pitt F1 movie:

When does Apple’s Brad Pitt F1 movie come out?

The film, officially titled F1 as of July 5, will roll into theaters on June 27, 2025.

What is Brad Pitt’s F1 Apple film about?

Pitt plays a former driver who returns to Formula 1 racing alongside his teammate (Damson Idris) at the fictional team Apxgp on the grid.

Who is in Brad Pitt’s Apple F1 film?

Aside from Pitt and Idris, the film also stars Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo.

Professional drivers who will also star include Esteban Ocon, Carlos Sainz and others who play themselves as a result of the embedded filming at real-life racetracks while competitions take place.

How realistic is Apple’s Brad Pitt F1 film?

Pitt and Idris will actually drive the cars, according to director Joseph Kosinski. He and producer Jerry Bruckheimer sat down with Deadline for an exclusive Q+A ahead of the British Grand Prix. They filmed at the iconic Silverstone racetrack in the actual British Grand Prix. Other tracks featured will include Daytona, Hungary, Spa (Belgium), Monza (Italy), Zandvoort (Netherlands), Japan, Las Vegas, Abu Dhabi and Mexico City.

Seven-time F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton is also producing the film through his Apollo Dawn Films banner while he still races professionally.

“He’s the first person I contacted three years ago. I knew for us to make it as authentic as possible, someone on the team who lives it day-in and day-out would be invaluable,” Kosinski told Deadline. “Lewis has been an incredible partner; he jumps on Zooms with me between races to go through the script, line by line, turn by turn, you know, tire compound by tire compound, to make sure that we are getting all the details right. Beyond that, on a creative and story level, he also has input.”

Kosinski also shared that embedding into the racetracks to capture specific scenes while races are happening adds intensity to creating and completing the scenes. One scene at Silverstone had a 9-minute window to nail.

Brad Pitt. What kind of cars and cameras are used in Brad Pitt’s Apple F1 film?

Pitt and Damson were trained for almost three months before getting in the movie-making vehicles. They started in Formula 3 cars before moving up to Formula 2 cars.

Working with Mercedes and Toto Wolff, team CEO, Co-Owner and Team Principal, the film’s team constructed modified Formula 2 cars with 15 camera mounts built into them to shoot films.

“They all complain that racing movies aren’t fast enough because usually when they build these cars, they’re movie cars. You know, they look right, but they aren’t real race cars,” Kosinski said. “At one of our first meetings, Toto said: ‘You should build this off a Formula 2 car, but make it look like a Formula 1 car,’ so it’s a Formula 2 chassis and engine. We worked closely with Mercedes and their design team and aerodynamicists to develop a custom body that resembles the latest generation Formula 1 car. They’re built specifically for this movie.

Kosinski also described the technology and equipment used to capture footage as “the next generation from what we did on Top Gun.”

“We have bespoke cameras for this that are very small and light so that they don’t impede the performance of the car too much and that’s key because you don’t want to have a race car and then put 200 pounds of gear on it. Our camera mounts were designed with Mercedes as well. The cameras are specially designed by Sony,” he said. “The big innovation is that we’re now able to control the movement of the cameras on the cars. We’re not locked into these kinds of fixed positions we had on Top Gun. Now we have real-time control of panning and focusing them while shooting through a very extensive Rf network that we’ve built around the tracks.”

How did the Brad Pitt F1 film come together? Who is making the Apple film?

Kosinski directs from Ehren Kruger’s script and produces alongside Bruckheimer. Bruckheimer said that Hamilton galvanized the film’s development.

“From Lewis, we got to Mercedes, from Mercedes, we got the car; if you approach it the right way it’s not as difficult as you think,” Bruckheimer told Deadline. “Then we went to Stefano [Domenicali, Formula One Group CEO], we went to [Fia President Mohammed Ben Sulayem], we went to the Principals of every team. We’ve met with all the drivers to tell them what we were doing. We met with just about everybody in Formula 1.”

How much did the Brad Pitt Apple F1 film cost?

Kosinski and Bruckheimer shot down the reports that the film’s budget would cash in at $300 million. Both said that the estimate was too high.

Is there a trailer for Apple’s Brad Pitt-starring F1 film?

It's lights out and away we go with a new "Big Game" TV spot for F1, the highly anticipated - and rather unimaginatively titled - Formula 1 movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris.

Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski helms the action, utilising state-of-the-art technology to recreate the sport's races in a way that promises to put moviegoers in the driving seat (something tells us watching this on 4Dx screens will be a blast).

Original plans called for F1 to debut on Apple TV+ but it's now receiving a theatrical release, likely as a result of the budget reportedly ballooning to as much as $300 million.

Made in collaboration with Formula 1 (potentially explaining the on-brand title), the movie is described as "a landmark for the sport and cinema, filmed in real-time during grands prix around the world and involving the F1 community, including all 10 teams, the drivers, the Fia and race promoters.

Brad Pitt narrated a moving TV ad during Fox’s pre-game show on Sunday ahead of the showdown between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The TV ad championed the resilience of people after the Los Angeles fires and Hurricane Helene.

“By lifting others, that’s how we rise up. We, the people. Today we come together, not just these players and coaches or these teams and sides. We, all of us, the dreamers, the warriors, the builders and believers,” Pitt said. “Brought together to celebrate our greatest game, the game that teaches us what we can achieve when we gather together in a that most American of formations, the one most fundamental to every play call in every game, the huddle. Think about it. When we are bound by a common goal, we have reached heights, authored achievements, pushed progress, not alone but together, in ways that...

There have been many Hollywood movies about Formula 1 and racing. However, almost every one of them had to use modified cars, given that the actors were not professionally trained drivers.

Rumors claimed that the film faced challenges due to strikes that disrupted its production schedule, contributing to a reported budget that ballooned to $300 million. Despite these hurdles, Bruckheimer has adamantly stated that no reshoots were required, people wish the same could be said for the upcoming summer blockbuster Deadpool & Wolverine.

Brad Pitt’s F1 Director Refutes Rumors of Delays or Reshoots

Brad Pitt’s highly anticipated Formula 1 racing movie is gearing up for its debut, promising an exhilarating ride for audiences. Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film features Pitt in the role of Sonny Hayes, a fresh face in the fictional Apxgp team led by Javier Bardem.

Snowfall star Damson Idris revealed what it was like working with director Joseph Kosinski on Apple Original Films upcoming F1 movie. The project marks Idris first leading role in a high-profile movie, following his acclaimed performance in the FX crime drama series.

During a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Idris expressed how much he admired Kosinskis creative vision and directing process during the production of the F1 movie. In addition, he also went on to praise the filmmakers impressive work on the blockbuster 2022 sequel Top Gun: Maverick. "He [Kosinski] is a directors director," he said. "He is the epitome of cinema in my opinion. The feeling I felt when I walked out of Top Gun was how I felt when I was a kid and I watched E.T. or Star Wars. Those movies are just defined by one thing: entertainment. Everyone, no matter what your background, could come and watch this film.

Brad Pitt gets behind the wheel for F1, from Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. Here’s the first trailer.

There is a great tradition of taking the high octane world of Formula 1 racing to the big screen, from the terrific 2010 documentary Senna to the dramatisation of the lives of Niki Lauder and James Hunt, as played by Daniel Bruhl and Chris Hemsworth, in 2013 drama Rush.

This weekend saw thousands of people descend on Silverstone to watch the British Grand Prix. But it wasn’t just the world’s greatest drivers and their fans. Brad Pitt was also in town to shoot scenes at the racetrack for F1.

Starring Brad Pitt as a former racer coaxed back to the Formula 1 grid to work with a younger teammate played by Damson Idris, “F1” boasts the distinction of shooting during actual Grand Prix races with real-life drivers and actors both behind the wheel. Speaking with Deadline for a recent interview, Kosinski shared the challenges of this highly complicated production.

“We’ve got Brad and Damson actually driving the cars, which is pretty spectacular in itself, but to do that in front of a live audience and at the speeds they’re doing...

Plenty of hilarious comedy shows don't get enough time. Famous comedians and exciting premises can't always save their shows from cancelation. Even when a show is canceled and revived years later, the damage is already done.

There's nothing more frustrating than when a great TV show is canceled too soon, and plenty of great comedies have been cut short in recent years. Comedy shows often need more time than drama shows to find their audience, but this tests the patience of networks and streaming platforms. Unfortunately, if a comedy show doesn't hit the ground running, it's always at risk of cancelation.

These days, TV cancelations seem to be happening more frequently, and more unpredictably, than ever before. The streaming era has meant that there are more shows competing for people's attention. Shows which don't instantly rise to this competition can be canceled, even if they have dedicated cult followings. There...

It's lights out and away we go as Formula 1 and Apple Original Films have released the first trailer and poster for F1 (via ActioNewz.com), the rather unimaginatively titled new racing movie starring Brad Pitt.

Original plans called for F1 to debut on Apple TV+ but plans have changed, presumably because it was recently reported that the budget has ballooned to upwards of $300 million since shooting started last year.

Made in collaboration with Formula 1 (potentially explaining the on-brand title), the movie is described as "a landmark for the sport and cinema, filmed in real-time during grands prix around the world and involving the F1 community, including all 10 teams, the drivers, the Fia and race promoters.

Pitt’s presence at the event is tied to his upcoming untitled Formula 1 film project, set for release by Apple Original Films on June 27, 2025. The actor is starring in the movie and co-producing through his Plan B Entertainment company.

The film boasts an impressive lineup both on and off-screen. Joseph Kosinski, known for his work on Top Gun: Maverick, is directing. The cast includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo.

Production of the F1 feature is expected to continue throughout the current racing season.

Will it be as good as the other Formula One film starring Chris Hemsworth and Daniel Brühl? Yes, these Marvel actors have already worked together in 2013’s Rush, so comparisons would be inevitable once F1 comes out.

If Joseph Kosinski’s last film “Top Gun: Maverick” is any metric, his next film “F1,” starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris as teammates in the world of Formula 1 racing, is set up to be another propulsive, edge-of-your set experience about man’s bond with machine and the limits it can take you to.

Kosinski filmed actual scenes at last year’s British Grand Prix, as well as other races throughout the season, incorporating footage of actors actually behind the wheel of F1 vehicles along with real-life drivers like Lewis Hamilton.

In addition to Pitt and Idris, “F1” also boasts a cast that includes Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia, and Samson Kayo.

According to the official synopsis of the film, “F1” follows former Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes (Pitt), who is lured back to the sport to partner rookie teammate Joshua Pearce (Idris) at the fictional Apxgp team.

The first trailer for Brad Pitt’s Formula 1 movie has arrived. The F1 teaser features a high-speed montage of racing set to Queen’s “We Will Rock You.”

“Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston and now McLaren all have a speed on the straights. Our shot is battling it in the turns,” Pitt says in the trailer. “We need to build our car for combat.”

When a woman asks him, “How am I supposed to make that safe?” He responds, “Who said anything about safe?”

Formula 1 released the trailer hours before the British Grand Prix. In the film, Pitt stars as a former driver who returns to Formula 1 alongside Damson Idris’ racer as his teammate at Apxgp, a fictional team on the grid. The film was made in collaboration with ten Formula 1 teams, with scenes shot during real F1 races, as seen in the high-octane teaser.
