In a new report on film strategies by Apple posted on Puck by the usually knowledgeable Matthew Bellonia very interesting fact is reported about the film on Formula 1 with Brad Pitt which will be directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) announced in 2022 after almost five years of negotiations (HERE ARE THE DETAILS).
According to what was published by the insider, Apple will spend a whopping 300 million dollars to make the film with Brad Pitt. A figure, the one mentioned, which will not be entirely allocated to the out-of-pocket production costs, given that a good part of the amount will be used to pay handsomely the various talents involved in the project.
On Puck we can read:
The $300 million-plus Formula 1 film with Joseph Kosinski directing and Brad Pitt starring still doesn’t have a release date or distributor, although Apple has begun contacting Imax to book Sony and Warner Bros. screens. they are considered the favorites; representatives of both have not closed any deals, but are still talking and are interested. That F1 movie was so massive, and all the names involved wanted so much money upfront, that no mainstream studio could come close to it. And now, in an ironic twist, Apple has been calling around asking potential film distributors when they would release the film if they were chosen as a distributor. Self. At least one declined the offer to give that free advice, for obvious reasons.
