Brad Pitt is said to be the lead star in an F1-themed movie produced by Lewis Hamilton. To film some racing scenes for the theatrical, Brad Pitt will take to track at the British GP in between the practice sessions. The car will be an adapted version of the Formula 2 car. Mercedes will be developing the car that Brad Pitt will be driving.
Joseph Kosinski is the director of the film with reports of Apple buying the rights for the movie going around. Lewis Hamilton wants to make sure that the movie is as close to F1 so the essence isn’t lost. It’s still not confirmed whether Lewis Hamilton will play a role in the movie as Kosinski is the same guy who directs Top Gun: Maverick, the movie in which Hamilton was offered a role but had to deny the offer because of the F1 world championship.
