Apple is planning to throw a ton of money at Brad Pitt's Formula 1 movie
Top Gun: Maverick
director Joseph Kosinski is on board and F1 driver Lewis Hamilton is a producer
Apple has finished at P1 in the race to win the rights to
Top Gun: Maverick
director Joseph Kosinski’s untitled Formula 1 movie,
and while the movie itself sounds pretty cool on its own
the most interesting thing about it might be the complex
and expensive release strategy that Apple is putting together.
But first, the movie: Brad Pitt is attached to star (and produce, through his Plan B label), with him playing a veteran F1 driver
who comes out of retirement to “mentor a promising rookie.
Sir Lewis Hamilton, arguably the greatest F1 driver of all time
is also on board as a producer, with Kosinski apparently coming up with the idea
for this movie after he met Hamilton through Tom Cruise during the making of
Maverick
