Brad Pitt’s 'F1' Wins Early Praise, Adds Cast

Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula 1 driver who mentors a rookie (Damson Idris) for the underdog Apex Grand Prix team in Joseph Kosinski’s upcoming film 'F1'. Early reviews praise the film’s technical brilliance, immersive visuals by cinematographer Claudio Miranda, and a score by Hans Zimmer. The cast also features Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, and appearances by real-life F1 personalities, with filming conducted at actual Grand Prix events. Critics highlight the film’s emotional depth, thrilling race sequences, and appeal to both racing fans and general audiences. 'F1' is compared favorably to Kosinski’s 'Top Gun: Maverick' for its crowd-pleasing action and storytelling. Additionally, Pitt’s classic 'Fight Club' has re-entered streaming platform Max’s top 10, over 25 years after its original release.
