Jerry Bruckheimer is giving an update on the highly-anticipated Formula 1 racing film starring Brad Pitt!
On Saturday (nov 18), the famed producer — along with Pitt — attended the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Las Vegas and gave ET an update on the status of the film.
“Filmed yesterday, and it’s coming out next year,” Bruckheimer told Nischelle Turner. “It’ll be very exciting, we have Brad Pitt racing, we did some background filming and we’ll be back here next year.”
The film paused production due to the SAG-AFTRA strike, but since it’s lifted, filming is set to resume and Pitt will be back in the driver’s seat.
“They’ll be in the cars after the first of the year, Bruckheimer said about the filming schedule. “Brad starts mid-December.”
One thing is for sure, all of the driving will be done by Pitt, who has already impressed professional F1 drivers.
“He does it all himself,” Bruckheimer shared with ET. “He’s an amazing athlete, the drivers are amazed at how good he is.”

How Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt movie has been received in F1 paddock
Brad Pitt is producing and starring in an upcoming F1 movie alongside Lewis Hamilton that has been filming at tracks throughout this year’s world championship.
The movie featuring Hollywood star Brad Pitt and Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton has been well-received after the paddock watched some of the footage. F1 bosses showed the drivers segments from the project at the United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas, last month.
No Way Out
Brad had a small cameo in the 1987 movie ‘No Way Out‘, starring Kevin Costner. He attends a party and can be seen on the left side of the screen in a scene with Kevin. Sure looks adorable. I had no idea, so this was a great find. You can check out the clip below, but you can also download it at the BP Media page.
