Bruckheimer Says Brad Pitt’s Last ‘F1’ Track Day Was His ‘Unhappiest’

The filmmakers say the production filmed at live Formula One events with strict safety measures.

Overview

  • Producer Jerry Bruckheimer says Pitt called his final racing day on the Abu Dhabi shoot his “unhappiest” because he wanted to keep driving.
  • Bruckheimer described that Abu Dhabi wrap as his own “happiest day” given the risks of putting the star in real cars on track.
  • Director Joseph Kosinski says he felt confident in Pitt’s control, allowed extra laps on the last take, and noted the actor was reluctant to get out of the car.
  • The movie was shot during actual Formula One race weekends with the sport’s cooperation, leaning on an extensive safety team.
  • After nearly $630 million at the global box office, the film streams worldwide on Apple TV on Dec. 12, and Kosinski says talks about a possible next chapter will begin soon.
