Hollywood star Brad Pitt reveals he wanted to work in an F1-like film for ‘literally decades'
Hollywood star Brad Pitt, who is stepping into the world of Formula One with his upcoming racing film F1, said that the experience while shooting for the film has been nothing short of exhilarating. Reflecting on the shoot, Brad expressed how much he enjoyed diving into the high-octane environment of F1 and emphasized how much it meant to have the backing of the sport's devoted fanbase. 'If we didn't pass their bar, then we were dead, you know? And to get that kind of, I don't know, response means a lot to us, because we have, again, so much respect for these drivers, for this sport, for everyone, the teams, everything they put into it. They made the movie too. They're a big part of the film," Brad said in an interview with Extra TV. The film, directed by Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, will see Brad portraying a former F1 driver making a comeback. Brad, in another interview, as per said he was always confident about the film's ability to resonate with both hardcore racing fans and new viewers alike. 'I felt pretty confident in what we have. You know, I feel like we successfully thread this needle that's for longtime fans that really understand the sport as well as newcomers, and they understood that was our goal, and, I don't know, I think they had fun too. I think it's just fun. It's really good fun," Brad said, adding that he had been wanting to work in a film based on motor sports for a long time now. "For me, it was just a no-brainer when [Joseph Kosinski] had this audacious plan to embed us in the racing season, to put us actually in the cars. It was just a dream come true. I've been trying to do a racing film for literally decades,' he said. Filming included sequences shot at the iconic Silverstone Circuit during the British Grand Prix, where Brad revealed he had the surreal experience of stepping onto the track in front of thousands of spectators. 'We had been, like, rehearsing there for a few weeks, so it kind of felt like it was home," he said. "But then when the whole race movement comes in it's such a juggernaut of a machine. It is really awe-inspiring, and then to get on the track with 100,000 fans, I was a little bit nervous. Actually, no, it was a high. Like, sitting waiting it was, once you get going, it's a high. It's a high,' said the 61-year-old actor. Despite boasting of a decades-long career filled with hits such as Ocean's Eleven, Troy, and The Fight Club, Brad shared that working on this F1 project has brought a fresh sense of energy and purpose. 'Doing this this long and to find something that was almost like starting over, it was so full of passion and it gave me a feeling like I've never had before. It was just sublime. I'm pretty grateful for Joe Kosinski for coming up with this,' he said.

Apple's 'haptic trailer' for F1 The Movie offers force feedback on iPhones
Following the preview of F1: The Movie at its WWDC25 keynote, Apple has released a first-of-its-kind haptic movie trailer on the Apple TV+ app. The trailer stands out for offering synchronised haptic feedback when played on a compatible iPhone. For the uninitiated, F1: The Movie, featuring Brad Pitt, is being co-distributed by Apple Original Films, the company's in-house film production division. F1 The Movie haptic trailer: Details The two-minute trailer incorporates haptic feedback that responds to the on-screen action. For example, when an F1 car is shown in motion, the iPhone vibrates in sync—subtle vibrations occur during pit stops, such as when tyres are changed, while more intense feedback is triggered during high-speed racing or crash scenes. There's even light feedback when a driver's seatbelt is fastened. Apple refers to this concept as a 'haptic trailer.' This kind of feedback is based on 'haptics'—a tactile technology that simulates the sensation of touch using hardware components, typically a haptic motor that generates vibrations on demand. Haptic feedback has been a staple on iPhones for years. It's felt when long-pressing app icons to rearrange them, adjusting volume levels, or interacting with controls in the Control Centre—all powered by the Taptic Engine. However, this marks the first time Apple has applied the technology to enhance a movie trailer, using it as an immersive promotional tool. How to watch the 'F1: The Movie' haptic trailer Make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS. Open the Apple TV+ app and look for the F1 haptic trailer on the home screen. Tap the poster and begin playback to experience the haptic-enhanced trailer.

How the F1 soundtrack came together, with a little help from Lewis Hamilton
New York, Jun 12 (AP) The pinnacle of motorsport, Formula One, has its own music. The swift rhythms of a six-cylinder engine reaching 15,000 rpm; the ear-to-ear glissando of a spirited overtake in a DRS zone; the A-list concerts that follow most race weekends. So, when it came to making the summer tentpole 'F1', starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris, the team behind the film knew its sound had to be massive, too. That comes courtesy a score by the many-time Oscar winner Hans Zimmer and a huge soundtrack releasing as 'F1 The Album' via Atlantic Records — the team behind the award-winning 'Barbie' album — the same day as the movie, June 27. The soundtrack features original music from Chris Stapleton, Myke Towers, Blackpink's Rose, Tate McRae and many more. The creative forces behind it all — film producer Jerry Bruckheimer, director Joseph Kosinski and Atlantic Records West Coast President Kevin Weaver — tell The Associated Press how 'F1 The Album' came together. In the years that it took to create 'F1', Kosinski had 'earmarked big music moments' across the movie's narrative, explains Weaver, who oversaw and produced the project. His team at Atlantic Records took those notes and came up with ideas for songs, artists and writers, collaborating with soundtrack executive producers Kosinski and Bruckheimer. They enlisted Atlantic artists, like Ed Sheeran and Rose, but also looked elsewhere. 'It's mostly, if not solely, about what the film needs,' Weaver says. 'It really kind of boils down to whose voice would sound best in these various moments... Who can accomplish what Joe and Jerry needed from a storytelling perspective?' And what they needed were big bespoke songs to meet the film's intensity and match its inclusion of huge classic rock songs, like Queen's 'We Will Rock You'. All the songs featured on 'F1 The Album' are originals, which is why Tate McRae's 'Sports Car,' despite its fitting name, is not on it; instead, she offered 'Just Keep Watching'. Atlantic, usually Weaver, would play the label's song choices against filmed sequences in the editing room, Bruckheimer explains. 'So, if there's a race and we need to end it with a song he'll play, you know, maybe 10 songs against that sequence and it's the best song that wins. It's not usually the song that we think is going to be the biggest hit or features the biggest artists,' Bruckheimer says. 'It's the one that works for a particular sequence.' 'F1 is such a global sport. I wanted the soundtrack of the film to reflect that,' Kosinski says. That meant tapping artists 'from all over the world to give it a feel that the sport really has.' Ferrari driver Lewis Hamilton, who consulted on the project, made sure that need for global inclusivity was clear from the start, says Kosinski. 'Sometimes here in Hollywood we can get a little myopic in terms of our cultural focus,' he says. 'And this sport, it is inspiring to me to just see how eclectic it is.' He would send Hamilton demos of the soundtrack and get his opinion: 'I sent him the Burna Boy track,' Kosinski remembers. 'Louis was like, 'This is going to be a giant hit.'' 'We were very intentional about genre and demographic,' Weaver adds. 'We have pop records. We have Afrobeat records. We have electronic records. We have country songs.' The result is a collection of 17 tracks with broad appeal — not unlike the lineup of a major summer music festival. 'It sounds amazing,' Bruckheimer says. 'The soundtrack blends perfectly in with every scene that we put the music against.' Artists on the 'F1' soundtrack found inspiration and participated in different ways. 'Sometimes it was bringing an artist in and showing them a scene, like Rose,' who then created to that, says Kosinski. Chris Stapleton did the same. Other artists were simply given a concept or an idea to inspire them and would record a track that would later be tailored to a specific scene. For Sheeran, Kosinski came up with 10 key phrases as lyrical prompts, words that 'identify Sonny Hayes,' the film's protagonist played by Pitt. Sheeran's song, 'Drive,' was written with John Mayer and Blake Slatkin 'specifically for the end title of the movie,' adds Weaver. 'It's kind of the culmination of the Brad Pitt character.' Other artists have deep ties to Formula One — like the DJ Tiësto, who has regularly performed at F1 grands prix across the globe as part of 'a long-standing relationship' with the motorsport, as he tells the AP. Atlantic Records asked if he'd like to pitch any songs for the movie — and he actually ended up in the film, portraying himself in a big Las Vegas nightclub scene. 'I hope I win an Oscar for this,' he jokes. 'I jumped right on it,' Tiesto says of the opportunity. 'Dance music and racing, there's a connection because they're both high energy. And with F1, it's a perfect combo and it brings people together from all over the world.' That's true for the Dutch DJ especially: His song for the soundtrack, 'OMG!,' features Missouri rapper Sexyy Red. 'She heard the song, and she really loved it and, yeah, she wanted to write lyrics for it,' he says. 'It was a really cool collaboration.' (AP) APA RB RB
