The suspense around the name of Brad Pitt’s previously untitled Formula One movie, being filmed at racetracks around the world for release in cinemas next June, ended on Friday with the announcement that it will be called… “F1”.
The
film is being made with the cooperation of teams and drivers and directed by
Joseph Kosinski, whose “Top Gun: Maverick” grossed $1.49 billion worldwide,
with Jerry Bruckheimer as producer.
It will
be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures in cinemas and IMAX.
Formula
One said an official ‘teaser’ for the film would be released on Sunday, before
the British Grand Prix at Silverstone where filming has been taking place.
The
plot sees Pitt, who is 60 years old in real life, star as a former driver
making a Formula One comeback alongside Damson Idris, who plays his rookie
teammate, at the fictional APXGP team.
Pitt
has been putting in laps on track with filming at tracks in Europe, the Middle
East and Americas and with seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton offering
advice as a co-producer.
