What Brad Pitt said about making F1
“I’ve been trying to get a racing movie done for 20 years. I’ve tried bikes, I’ve tried cars, I’ve tried different disciplines, and for whatever reason they never came to fruition”, the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star shared.
“We got a great push behind us (for this film), people were more and more interested (in F1), so we could get (a company) like Apple to come in and really support us. F1 is directed by Joseph Kosinski of Top Gun: Maverick fame.
