Apple is very close to closing its second major project of the year. A while ago, it was confirmed that Brad Pitt Y George Clooney would be led by Jon Watts (Spider-Man: No Way Home) in a film about two lone wolves who are engaged in illegal work, who are assigned the same task without knowing it. Now, the award-winning actor Oscar for Once upon a time… in Hollywood would be about to arrive with a new movie on the platform.
Deadline confirmed that Apple leads the negotiations to make what will be the next great film of Brad Pitt. According to the aforementioned media, the platform was imposed in the commercial agreement to giants such as MGM, Sony, Universal, Netflix Y Amazon. To achieve this, it would have been proposed to allocate a budget that would range from 130 to 140 million dollars, which would put it at the height of productions such as Captain America: The First Avenger, Top Gun: Maverick Y Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
The film in question does not yet have a title and would have it at Brad Pitt as a Formula 1 driver who returns from retirement to attend one of the promises of the circuit and become his teammate. The film will be directed by Joseph Kosinski (which in May will release the sequel to Top Gun), from a script by Honor Kruger. In addition, it will feature the production of an eminence of Hollywood What Jerry Bruckheimer.
Among the producers would be involved an important figure in motor sports. From Deadline, time before it was confirmed that Apple has the lead in negotiations for the film rights, the multi-champion had been reported Lewis Hamilton I could work on this feature film. In this sense, it is not known if it will be only as an advisor behind the camera or if the athlete would make the leap to Hollywood, with a theme that is very clear.
The resemblance to the James Mangold and Matt Damon film
The story has many similarities to one of the great automotive projects that were released recently: Fords v. Ferrari. The comparison makes sense, since Pitt Y Kosinski they came to think of a project that was called Go Like Hell, where Pitt he was going to put himself in the shoes of Carroll Shelby (character played by Matt Damon in the movie of James Mangold). The project was never finally carried out, and this could be some kind of rematch.
