Brad Pitt‘s upcoming feature about Formula 1 racing has gotten a release date from Apple Original Films. The untitled movie will race into cinemas on June 27, 2025.
Apple is partnering with Warner Bros. Pictures on the theatrical rollout. The tech giant has been releasing more of its movies in theaters before debuting them on its streaming service Apple TV+ along with other home entertainment platforms. In the past, Apple partnered with the likes of Sony on the release of “Napoleon,” Paramount on “Killers of the Flower Moon” and Universal on “Argylle.”
The Formula 1 movie will be shown in Imax theaters, which could become the de facto format for consumers interested in a movie that will be marketed heavily on its racing sequences. The June 2025 release date will pit the film against the opening of “M3GAN 2.0,” a sequel to Blumhouse’s 2023 horror hit, “M3GAN.” The next weekend will bring an even bigger challenger — the debut of “Jurassic World 4,” which will feature Jonathan Bailey, Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali and a lot of hungry dinos.
The Formula 1 film will be directed by Joseph Kosinski, who previously oversaw “Top Gun: Maverick.” It co-stars Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kayo.
Kosinski will produce the feature alongside Jerry Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films; and Pitt, Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment, and Lewis Hamilton under his Dawn Apollo Films banner. The film is made in collaboration with Formula 1. Ehren Kruger, who worked with Kosinski on “Top Gun: Maverick,” wrote the screenplay.
