“F1: The Movie” releases in the United States

Well, F1 the movie releases today in the United States and with Brad Pitt in the driving seat will surely be revving up the adrenaline. The movie was filmed extensively in Abu Dhabi over the course of three separate production visits over the course of several weeks. 284 local crew members were involved, including 15 young interns selected to work on the project. All 10 Formula One teams were engaged in the production. It's a Warner Brothers Pictures film which shares the same parent company as CNN. CNN's Elizabeth Perez has more. Some people look at Sonny Hayes, they see a guy who lives in a van, a gambling junkie who missed his shot. The best that never was. But I see possibility. I've seen trailer. It looks really, really cool. Brad Pitt, a Formula One car and some serious high-speed Hollywood magic. That's right. The Hollywood star is starring in a brand new Formula One movie named F1 film at real Formula One races with real teams and real fans watching. This could be one of the coolest racing movies ever made. In the film, Brad plays a retired racing legend, Sonny Hayes, who is pulled back onto the grid for the last shot at glory behind the wheel. With Lewis Hamilton producing, the actual F1 teams involved and Top Gun Maverick director Joseph Kocinski calling the shots, this movie promises a lot. Action. It is very surreal for I've grown up seeing all of Brad Pitt's movies and he's obviously such a worldwide superstar, but he came into our world and he he wanted to hear from us. He wanted our views, our opinions, how they can make the movie better, how they can make it as authentic as possible. So I really can't wait to see it. And I feel this movie is going to be the one that we're going to love and Such a good personality. Humble. He was really interested in the sport and learning about it. And it's always you see when somebody is successful is that the character is also very, very good. And that was why working with Brad and with Javier and with Jerry overall was just a pleasure. We make movies that entertain audiences. We call it we're in the transportation business. We transport them from one place to another and we're transforming an inside Formula One. What I love making and I've made a lot of them is take you inside a world that you'll never be a part of and show it how it actually works. You will see how these teams are run and how the teams come together, the drivers come together. And it's just it's a fun experience. When was the last time you won a race? Sunday, Daytona. Oh, I'm sorry, I meant Formula One. Oh, I'm sorry. Then same as you. And in addition to the enthusiasm of the teams, the cast of F1 are also excited for this summer blockbuster to get to the front of the grid. I'm such a fan of Formula One. So to be able to attend all these races and be on the grid shooting these scenes amongst all of the chaos and the adrenaline, I'm just so deeply grateful that I got to witness and experience all of this. So she's the technical director of the team, which is basically in charge of the car. Everything got to do with the car comes through my character. So the driver feedback about the car, if we need to change something on the car, is it going to work with the rest of the car? When we get to a track, is our car good at straights or turns? It's like basically everything that's to do with the car is on the brains. And then also there's romance. I love a little romance. Who are you kissing? You got to watch the movie. Three laps. Three laps is a lifetime. The F1 movie is already a pole position pick for motorsports fans. Catch it in theaters on June 25th internationally and June 27th in the United States.
