Apple’s Formula One film starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris now has a release date as Warner Bros. has come aboard the film for a global theatrical release.
As directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the film will see Idris and Pitt star alongside Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, Kim Bodnia and Samson Kay.
Pitt will star in the film as a former driver who returns to Formula 1. Idris, known for his role as Franklin Saint in Snowfall, will portray Pitt’s teammate at APXGP, a fictional team on the grid. Scenes for the Formula 1 film were during real F1 races.
Kosinski produces the feature alongside Bruckheimer and Chad Oman of Jerry Bruckheimer Films, as well as Pitt and Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner for Plan B Entertainment. Famed racing driver Lewis Hamilton will also produce through his production company, Dawn Apollo Films.
The movie will have a theatrical release on IMAX screenings in North America on June 27, 2025.
As The Hollywood Reporter notes, “the movie landed at Apple under a deal that assured the film would receive a substantial theatrical release, with a window of at least 30 days, if not longer. At the time of the deal, it was clear that a distribution partner would need to come on board for the film. Apple has done such partnerships in the recent past, most notably working with Paramount on the wide theatrical release of Killers of the Flower Moon, and Sony on Napoleon.”
