Brad Pitt will go all out to advertise the June 2025 launch of F1, producer Jerry Bruckheimer stated Thursday.
“Brad is admittedly invested on this film,” Buckheimer stated throughout an look at Liberty Media‘s investor day in New York. “He doesn’t love to do press, however I believe we’ll take him on a world tour the place he’ll be glad to indicate his efforts in driving and appearing on this film.”
System One was acquired in 2016 by Liberty. The corporate, managed by media billionaire John Malone, invited Bruckheimer to its investor assembly to drum up enthusiasm for the movie mission, which was made with its co-operation. It’s the newest display screen promotion for the auto racing circuit, following the multi-season success of Drive to Survive on Netflix. The streamer can also be getting set to launch restricted sequence Senna, a scripted tackle the late F1 driver Ayrton Senna.
Directed by Prime Gun: Maverick‘s Joseph Kosinski, F1 is scheduled for theatrical launch on June 27, 2025.
Requested in regards to the plan for premieres of the movie previous its industrial bow, presumably that means pageant berths at Cannes or the like, Bruckheimer saved his playing cards near the vest.
“That’s up for dialogue,” he stated. “I believe we’re going to indicate it in Monaco, to the drivers and the F1 groups after which we’ll have premieres in New York and London and a bunch of different cities.”
One facet of the mission that has drawn business consideration is the form of its theatrical run. Apple has been recalibrating its movie launch plans of late after seeing combined outcomes from a number of big-budget tasks over the previous yr. As Deadline completely reported final summer time, the tech large shifted Wolfs, Pitt’s latest teaming with George Clooney, to a restricted one-week theatrical launch earlier than a streaming debut on Apple TV+.

Bruckheimer teased the feel of the movie, which he stated is consistent with “course of” movies and sequence he has produced over the course of his profession.
F1 drivers, he stated, “are booked each 5 minutes. It’s unbelievable what their life is like. The bodily toll that it takes on them, the quantity of coaching that they must do, you by no means see that. However we’ll actually present you a few of that within the film. I like to make what I name course of motion pictures. I’ve executed it again and again. I had a TV sequence known as CSI that takes you behind the scenes and exhibits you what the world is admittedly like and that’s what our film does. You get contained in the world of F1 and also you see the way it truly works. However there’s plenty of great dramatic tales I preserve telling.”
