On the 2nd, a behind-the-scenes video was released for the movie "F1" (directed by Joseph Kosinski, scheduled for release on June 27th), in which American actor Brad Pitt plays an F1 racer, showing Pitt's passion bursting forth ahead of the Miami Grand Prix, which will be held from May 3rd.
Legendary former charismatic F1 driver Sonny (Pitt) returns to racing to save the weakest F1 team. Sonny's unconventional behavior bewilders his teammate, young rookie Joshua (Idris Damson), and the rest of the team, but they are gradually led by Sonny's overwhelming talent and ability... This is the story. The film is directed by Kosinski, who also directed "Top Gun: Maverick," and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton is also listed as a producer.
The video shows Pitt dressed in a racing suit, communicating with the staff as he takes on the filming. There is also a shocking scene in which a racing car crashes into the wall of the course and crashes. It shows how dangerous F1 is, but Pitt's character Sonny shows his strength by smiling and saying, "It's just the beginning."
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion F1 driver and producer, said, "I was moved by Brad's passion," and director Kosinski, who directed the film, praised him, saying, "I thought this was the role he should play. He's involved in every aspect of the production process, and is a genuine racer and an excellent producer. He's a great guy." Javier Bardem, who plays Ruben, the key man who brings Sonny back to racing, is also an old friend of Pitt, and he was full of praise for him, saying, "I respect him from the bottom of my heart. He's a great actor."
Damson Idris, who plays Joshua, a rookie who is Sonny's rival and sometimes clashes with him, but who also develops a bond as a teammate, said, "Brad is my partner on filming and the best co-star." Although the new stills show Sonny and Joshua glaring at each other and appearing to be at odds, making-of footage also shows them smiling together behind the scenes, showing how their bond has deepened.
Pitt was seen smiling a lot even during breaks in what must have been a grueling shoot, including driving a racing car himself on a real circuit, and the footage gives an idea of how deep the bond on set is, centered around Pitt.
