Next month sees the highly anticipated racing drama “F1” finally hitting screens as the film from director Joseph Kosinski (“Top Gun: Maverick”) with a cast that includes Brad Pitt, Javier Bardem, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia.
Warner Bros., which is distributing the film from Apple Original Films on June 27, has dropped a final trailer highlighting the compelling capturing of racing footage, as the actors do a lot of their own driving.
A big selling point is that Kosinski is taking his shooting style from “Top Gun: Maverick” of putting cameras in military planes, to putting them inside Formula 1 cars. That choice makes for one helluva thrill ride for audiences, alongside the dramatic clashes between the rival racers as tensions rise throughout the movie.
An official logline for “F1” courtesy of Warner Bros. and Apple:
Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad 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 (Javier 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 (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie, intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.
Kosinski is super busy as he’s putting together a new mysterious UFO thriller at Apple and is developing a remake of Michael Mann‘s “Miami Vice.” Also, Pitt is attached to reprise the Cliff Booth role in a “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” follow-up written by Quentin Tarantino that has David Fincher set to direct.
