Deadly Isle of Man Motorcycle Race Gets Film and Docuseries From Brad Pitt, Channing Tatum
The legendary Isle of Man TT motorcycle race will be the subject of a film and docuseries from Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum‘s production companies, Mediawan-owned Plan B Entertainment and Free Association.
The Isle of Man TT is one of the most famous and deadly races for motorcyclists around the world. Taking place on a small island nation in the Irish Sea, the race traces its heritage back to the early 1900s when road racing was outlawed in England, and racers found refuge on the Isle of Man. A single lap of the course is made up of 37.7 miles across the island’s road systems as the bikes tackle country lanes and city streets at speeds up to 200 mph. Since 1903, there have been more than 150 deaths during the race or its practices, including five in 2022.
