The unnamed movie takes place in the realm of competitive motor racing and also stars Snowfall actor Damson Idris in a key role. Pitt plays a former Formula One driver who joins Idris’ character to compete for the fictitious APXGP team, a mediocre outfit.

The film will be filmed on and around real Grand Prix racing weekends as part of an F1-sponsored production. The idea aims to capitalize on the current interest in Formula One racing, which has been stoked by Netflix’s gripping docuseries Drive to Survive.

The Top Gun: Maverick creative team, including director Joseph Kosinski, writer Ehren Kruger, and producer Jerry Bruckheimer, reunite for the movie. Tobias Menzies (Outlander, The Crown) and Oscar winner Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) are also included in the cast.

The drama is made by Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, and Sir Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films company, which has won seven F1 championships.

The Hollywood Reporter said in June 2022 that the agreement for Apple’s F1 function has the potential to revolutionize the entertainment industry. The creative team will be compensated in three ways under the special agreement, which asks for a significant theatrical window and a broad distribution, including upfront compensation, significant buyout fees, and theatrical backend.

According to THR, the film would have an exclusive, worldwide run of at least 30 days (one source claims it may possibly go as high as 60 days) before being released on the Apple TV+ platform, as opposed to a token release in a few theaters or a day-and-date debut.

The forthcoming thriller Wolves, directed by Jon Watts, also stars George Clooney, Amy Ryan, and Brad Pitt. The F1 movie marks Pitt’s second leading role for Apple.

Hollywood’s studios and streamers engaged in a fierce bidding battle for Wolves as well.

The inaugural official photos posted by Apple Original Films provide a first glimpse at the APXGP’s style and color palette.
