Deadline:

Producers have been meeting with prospects for the role going all the way back to November, with Kosinski, Bruckheimer and Apple execs seeing dozens of actors. At the top of the year the lists were cut down to a handful of actors, with Idris making the final cut. Besides doing a number of screen tests, actors also had to show they had the goods to handle the film’s intense driving scenes and were put through a number of driving tests in January. Kosinski is big on using natural effects after going a similar route when he put his actors in real fighter jets for Top Gun: Maverick; he hopes for the same with Formula One race cars in this film.

 

The untitled feature follows Pitt as a racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a younger driver and take his final stab at glory on the track as the younger driver’s teammate.

So the plot is basically the 2001 film driven?

Brad Pitt: I'm having the time of my life at Silverstone.

Apparently it's because of changes to the car made this year. They had to reshoot alot

[dudalb]

300 Million????

SOrry, b ut those who think this is going to a huge hit because F! is "big" in Maerica are smoking some strong shit.

Nascar still alot bigger then FI, and f thre is one thing we have seen, it is that just because a sport is popular does not mean a movie about that sport will do well at the box office.

It seems this will be released on June 27 next year. Time for the main forum @Eric the IF

The 1B number seems a little crazy. But this could definitely out-gross Ford v Ferrari. Not sure how big F1 is overseas, but it could definitely do 150-200M domestic, with Kosinski directing (I’m expecting a surefire spectacle), big star, prime summer release.

F1 overseas >>>>>> F1 in North America. 

Think they should be popping up at grand prix's again fairly soon for more shooting

Apex is the title of the movie as of right now
