AceShowbiz - With the Super Bowl in full swing, Brad Pitt has taken to the track in the pregame teaser for his new movie "F1," set to premiere in theaters on June 25. Pitt portrays Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One driver forced into retirement after a catastrophic crash. However, he is convinced to return to the game by his friend and team owner Ruben (Javier Bardem) to mentor rookie prodigy Joshua "Noah" Pearce (Damson Idris).
The action-packed film also features Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Sarah Niles, along with real-life Formula One drivers Esteban Ocon and Carlos Sainz. Pitt and Idris underwent intense training to prepare themselves to drive the cars themselves during filming at real-life racetracks, including the British Grand Prix.
"F1" marks the second collaboration between director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, following the success of "Top Gun: Maverick." The film was also co-produced by FI champion Lewis Hamilton.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Idris praised Pitt's driving skills, stating, "He's really good behind that car. Too good almost."
Kosinski described the filming logistics as "unlike anything I've done before," capturing the intense racing action in front of live audiences. The film stars a blend of A-list actors and renowned Formula One drivers, promising a high-octane experience. "F1" races into theaters on June 27, bringing the exhilaration of the track to the big screen.
