Apple is reportedly in “in exclusive negotiations” to produce a new Formula One movie starring Brad Pitt, according to Deadline.
The Fight Club actor will appear as “a racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a younger driver and take his final stab at glory on the track as the younger driver’s teammate.” Amazon, MGM, Paramount, Sony and Universal were all reportedly contenders to produce the product along with Netflix, who airs the docuseries Formula 1: Drive to Survive.
Iconic Top Gun producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski will both reportedly be part of the project while Ehren Kruger, widely known for his work on Transformers, will pen the script.
