TOKYO
Japan often gets Hollywood movies later than the rest of the world, but “F1,” starring Brad Pitt, is fittingly, arriving in Japanese theaters as quickly as possible, premiering here on Friday, the same day as it does in the U.S.To promote the movie’s opening, the producers have released a promotional video in which Kenyu Horiuchi and Shintaro Morimoto, who serve as the dub actors for Pitt and co-star Damson Idris, ask Pitt, Idris, and director Joseph Kosinski some questions on behalf of Japanese fans.
The first question involves special training the on-screen cast undertook for their roles, and the next ones deal with special efforts made during filming and the cast’s most memorable scenes. The three interviewees also express regret that while “F1” includes footage shot by a separate crew at Japan’s Suzuka Circuit, none of them were able to travel to the country themselves for filming.

Brad Pitt: “It hurt” to miss 200mph target in “extraordinary” McLaren F1 test
Brad Pitt revealed he wants the chance to improve on his Formula 1 debut after just falling short of his 200mph target during a run in Lando Norris’ 2023 McLaren.
The star of F1: The Movie, Pitt got behind the wheel of a fully-fledged F1 car for the first time as part of a Testing of Previous Cars programme for McLaren at Circuit of the Americas.
Pitt, 61, plays returning racer Sonny Hayes in the F1 blockbuster, released globally this week, but the cars driven by the A-lister and his APX GP team-mate Damson Idris are based on F2 models.
Taking to the track in Austin, Pitt had been given advice by Lando Norris, whose 2023 MCL60 he then got to experience first-hand – but was left wanting more.
“I got to hit 197 (miles per hour) this week,” Pitt told the Beyond the Grid podcast when talking about the experience.
