Real-life British Formula 1 driverLewis Hamiltonis producing the film with Jerry Bruckheimer, while Joseph Kosinski is the director.
Kosinski and Bruckheimer previously worked together on the hitTom Cruisemovie,Top Gun: Maverick.
The duo first revealed plans for the movie — which will also starKerry CondonandDamson Idris— at the Miami Formula 1 Accelerate Summit in May.
“Their F1 movie sounds incredible,” the Accelerate panel moderator, Buxton wrote onTwitterThursday after the event. “They’re creating an 11th team and filming on track and on event from Silverstone to the end of the year.”
According to Buxton, Kosinski and Bruckheimer are utilizing lessons learned fromTop Gun: Maverick— in which the filmmakerscreated a camera that could be attached to jets— “to develop the smallest moveable 6k camera ever designed to take the viewer into the cockpit.”
“It will be the first movie where they will be within the racing event,” F1 Stefano Domenicali said of the upcoming production, according toSports Illustratedreports in April. “It will be quite invasive in terms of production, but it will be another way of showing that F1 never stops.”
