F1 features Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula One racer who was forced into early retirement until a team owner (Bardem) asks him to return to the sport and help mentor a rookie driver (Idris).
'Red Bull, Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston and now McLaren all have a speed on the straights,' Pitt said in a teaser trailer released last year. 'Our shot is battling in the turns. We need to build our car for combat.'
Kosinski helmed the film from a script by Ehren Kruger, following the pair collaborating on the 2022 smash Top Gun: Maverick. Pitt, Kosinski, Jerry Bruckheimer, Dede Gardner, Lewis Hamilton, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman serve as producers for F1.
Idris discussed his excitement about making the movie during an interview with Vanity Fair that published last year. 'I look to my left, it's Brad Pitt. I look to my right, it's Javier Bardem. I look at my hands, they're shaking,' Idris recalled about the first day of the shoot. 'And we shoot all of this epic stuff, and all the amazing drivers are there, from Lewis [Hamilton] to [Max] Verstappen to everyone.'

‘How to Train Your Dragon' Review: The Return of Hiccup and Toothless
About halfway through 'How to Train Your Dragon,' Hiccup, the unlikely hero hiding under a mop of teenage hair, hops onto the back of his newfound dragon friend, Toothless, and cautiously goes for their first ride. Soon, they're soaring; they're bumped around and perilously tumbling; they're finding each other midair; and finally they're shooting off at light speed, twisting impossibly through the craggy rock formations sprouting over the sea. It's a moment of pure exhilaration, the first instance when you nod and momentarily understand the point of this remake — a live-action mirror of a big sequence from the 2010 animated film that adds visceral weight and big-screen grandeur to the original. By the film's end, it's one of the few scenes that genuinely justifies the entire conceit of this reimagining from Dean DeBlois, the franchise's returning director. To be sure, this new iteration is entertaining, bears a sense of heart and brings a tight script of fantasy and friendship to life. It is, in short, all of the original, only too much so: Most of the good of this 'Dragon' come directly from its source material, as DeBlois has almost religiously mimed his original creation without much daring or new dimension beyond mechanically translating it to an IMAX screen. For the faithful to a strong franchise, that is perhaps the best way to do it. This remake of the 2010 film comes just six years after the third and final installment of the animated trilogy, barely a blink of an eye when it comes to developing the nostalgia kick that tends to fuel live-action retreads. And yet, the movie is bringing to life a franchise that, far more than most animated films, has the pure DNA of a real-deal blockbuster: an immersive fantasy epic full of dragon fights and warmongering Vikings. Like its original, the new film begins by introducing us, mid-battle, to Berk, a remote island village that is in a perpetual war with dragons. When Hiccup (Mason Thames), the feckless son of the village chief, Stoic (Gerard Butler, reprising his role in the animated films), wounds a Night Fury, the deadliest of dragons, he develops a bond with the creature. He names him Toothless and comes to find him, and all dragons, to be more skittish dog than aggressive predator, a realization Hiccup struggles to translate to his people as their war turns ever more deadly.

‘Cat in the Hat' Teases Not One, but Three Different Worlds – and a Pig in a Wig
Latest Warner Bros. Animation offering, 'Cat in the Hat' – based on the Dr. Seuss creation – will introduce the audience to three different universes, its team revealed at Annecy. 'We have the real world, we have the Seuss' world, which is where the Cat comes from, and the boxes' world,' said co-director Alessandro Carloni of the feature. The latter has a very simple explanation: Gabby and Sebastian's family has just moved into a new home. More from Variety Passion Paris, Amplitude Studios Partner on Animated Series Set in the Endless Universe (EXCLUSIVE) 'We Did Not Make 'Animal Farm' for Any Algorithm': Director Andy Serkis on Animating Orwell Nickelodeon, Paramount Animation Smurf Up Annecy Crowds With Packed Slate and Exclusive SpongeBob SquarePants Preview 'We chose to introduce our characters through the content of their boxes,' said Carloni. Left on the floor, they will allow the Cat to take the kids on crazy adventures after turning their old couch into a magical transportation device. 'Parents know that all the kids need is a couch and a bunch of boxes,' joked Erica Rivinoja, co-director and writer. Sebastian's box is all about the ocean, and his desire to reconnect with his older sister who's not playing with him anymore. But this underwater universe will feel 'handmade and not mass-produced: as if it was created by one wildly imaginative kid. A world of plenty from nothing but imagination,' assured production designer Aidan Sugano. Gabby's box reflects her past as a 'band nerd' and what she's currently going through – she desperately wants to go back to her old school and old life. Art director Amos Sussigan explained: 'Emotionally, it lives between Sebastian's playful chaos and full-blown existential dread – which is what I'm feeling right now. She's romanticizing the past. It's not your typical reference for animation, but I was looking at 'Euphoria,' which is a bit extra and bold, and that's what we tried to do with Gabby's world.' 'It becomes this wonderful journey into her old life. She gets to re-experience it – not how it really was but as she remembered it. She sees everything through the eyes of nostalgia, which obviously clouds things. Even her modest home becomes a castle,' said Rivinoja. 'And then we have mum's box. She's an overwhelmed yet tireless nurse. She has all the things us adults love: tax forms, insurance documents, paperwork. Her children think it's all she cares about.' But there's much more to discover. Sugano noted: 'We try to craft these surreal landscapes of metaphors. How do you create visually the core identity of a person? Here, we landed on this abstract, celestial galaxy of personality, turning the entire space into a mood ring to reinforce the emotionality of the characters at this time, and to reinforce the poetic core of who she is.' According to Rivinoja, the source material defined the whole project. 'We really looked into the art of Dr. Seuss, leaning into its wackiness.' 'Even if you didn't grow up with the Cat in the Hat, I bet you know someone like him, because he's bonkers and out of control. A total agent of chaos, tornado of excitement, driven by a single overriding desire: to have fun. If a kid asks him to drive a car, he will say: 'It's very dangerous. Of course!' He's the quintessential 'carpe diem' guy and the keeper of the theme of our movie, which is about living in the present. All he cares about is having a good time.' Or so it seems. 'If he really just a crazy lunatic? Or deep down, is he the greatest child psychologist ever and the greatest support animal? That is the question we're asking ourselves,' added Carloni, which is why they decided to follow him as he returned to his office. 'Where does this furry home invader go?! This office is filled with hilarious characters like Pig in the Wig, Ox in the Box, Owl in a Towel. His job is to engage with bored, sad kids to give them exactly what they need: a crazy, fun day of adventure.' Joined by other Seuss' characters, like the Things, the Cat will also reveal a bit more of his past. 'What we know from the original book is just one case file of his many assignments. He's caused a mess at his company,' said Carloni. And at one point put a moose in a diaper. But his next assignment will be his hardest yet. '[This character] has been a part of so many childhoods, so we had to do it justice. It had to be a celebration of Seuss. We try to portray this very cerebral idea of creating visceral landscapes of personality. This film is completely about connection,' underlined Sugano. According to art director Amos Sussigan, the team wanted to focus on the color of red. 'Not just because it pops. It represents connection, presence and the now. Color had to do a lot of heavy lifting for it not to feel disconnected or episodical.' 'We reference movies like Pixar's 'Soul,' which was great for our real-life world, and it's a great example of a movie that also goes into the fantastical. We also looked at Disney's 'Feast' and [unreleased] 'Me and My Shadow,' which had a really rich use of colors,' added VFX supervisor Matt Waters. Sugano noted: 'Seuss has been done before, and very well. We wanted to study the source material and find what Seuss is. Look for the core, for the identity. There's what Seuss is, his compositional choices and use of color, and the Seuss that we remember, the spirit many people connect to.'

Brad Pitt Reveals His 1 Condition for Doing a Tom Cruise Movie
Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt haven't shared the silver screen since their 1994 film "Interview with the Vampire." However, it's possible they join forces for another collaboration. During a presentation at CinemaCon in April, Cruise raved about Pitt's upcoming film, "F1." Not only did he say he'll be there opening weekend to watch it, he revealed that he and Pitt used to race go-karts. "Brad's got a new movie 'F1' with Jerry Bruckheimer and Joe Kosinski. I can't wait to see that this summer. I'll be there opening weekend. It'll be awesome," Cruise said. "It's great to see Brad driving. He's a very good driver. Believe me, I've raced against him. When we were doing 'Interview with the Vampire,' we'd go and race go-karts. We'd literally finish and go drive go-karts all night." While at the Mexico City premiere for "F1" on Monday, Pitt responded to Cruise's encouraging words. "He's sweet," Pitt said. "We did have our go-kart days in the early 90s." Pitt then made it known that he's more than willing to work with Cruise again under one condition. The "F1" actor refuses to do any wild stunts that we've seen Cruise perform over the past few years. "Well, I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and [expletive] like that," Pitt told E! News. "So when he does something again that's on the ground. Cruise left moviegoers speechless during "Mission: Impossible - The Final Reckoning" when he jumped from one plane onto another. If that wasn't crazy enough, the very next stunt featured him free-falling with a burning parachute. He actually did that stunt 19 times, according to "The Final Reckoning" director Christopher McQuarrie. If Cruise wants to work with Pitt again, he'll have to tone down the death-defying stunts.
