‘F1' First Reactions: Brad Pitt's Racing Epic Is an ‘Old School Summer Blockbuster' That's ‘So Freaking Good'
Brad Pitt's summer tentpole 'F1' has been unveiled to members of the film press, and the first reactions are praising the racing thriller as 'action-packed' with strong visuals. Variety's senior artisans editor Jazz Tangcay highlighted the 'flawless' craft of the film, with its sound, score and cinematography. More from Variety 'F1' Breakout Damson Idris Stars in Tommy Hilfiger Campaign for Paddock Capsule Collection Featured in the Film Tom Cruise in 'F1' Over Brad Pitt Would've Been 'Scaring Us More,' Says Joseph Kosinski; Action Supervisor Quips: Tom 'Terrifies Me' and 'We'd Have Had a Crash' Brad Pitt Says 'My Personal Life Is Always in the News' and It's an 'Annoyance' to Deal With While Filming: 'It's Always Been' a 'Nagging Time Suck' "It's Pearce, down the insideeeee" WOW! @F1Movie is an action-packed thrilling look at the world of F1 racing, with lots of grit. The sound, score and cinematography are flawless. Damson Idris and Brad Pitt are great! Absolutely Obsessedddddd — Jazz Tangcay (@jazzt) June 5, 2025 Variety's chief awards editor Clayton Davis also had high praise for the lensing, shouting out DP Claudio Miranda, who earned an Oscar nomination for his work on director Joseph Kosinski's last feature 'Top Gun: Maverick.' #F1TheMovie is the Jerry and Joe Show! Bruckheimer and Kosinski really do make audacious entertainment together. Academy…don't do Claudio Miranda dirty again on this one. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris shine brightest when sharing the screen. Race to see this one in IMAX — Clayton Davis (@ByClaytonDavis) June 5, 2025 The Nerdist and Breakroom contributor Maude Garrett called the movie 'so freaking good' and hypothesized if she would've liked it even more if she were even a fan of F1 racing in the first place. #F1TheMovie is so freaking good. It has all the adrenaline, heart, pacing, story and character that completely fleshes out this movie into excellence. I can only imagine how much MORE I would love this movie if I was a fan of F1 racing! 🏎️ 💨 Maybe I am now?@F1Movie — Maude Garrett (@maudegarrett) June 5, 2025 Pitt headlines 'F1' as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One driver who suffered a terrible crash in his past. He's convinced to come out of retirement and train a rookie prodigy, played by Damson Idris, for the Apex Grand Prix race. Joseph Kosinski, who directed Tom Cruise in the high-flying blockbuster 'Top Gun: Maverick,' helmed the film with producer Jerry Bruckheimer and real-life Formula One superstar Lewis Hamilton. The supporting cast includes Javier Bardem and Kerry Condon. During a virtual press conference earlier this year, Kosinski discussed the making of the film, explaining that he became a fan of Formula 1 racing after discovering Netflix's 'Drive to Survive' series during the COVID pandemic. 'I loved how the first season of the show focused on the last place teams, the underdogs, rather than the Ferrari, the Mercedes, the Red Bull, the teams that you see at the front of the pack,' he said. 'I thought that there was an interesting story to be told about an underdog team trying — not to win the championship — but just trying to win one race against these titans of the sport.' Kosinski and his actors traveled the F1 circuit over the course of a year in order to film at the real races. He explained: 'We get these 10 or 15 minute slots where we'd have to have Brad and Damson ready in the cars, warmed up with hot tires ready to go, and as soon as practice ended, they would pull out onto the track. We'd have 24, 30 cameras ready, rolling, and I'd have to shoot these scenes in these very short, intense, high-speed windows. But the crowd you're seeing was really there in the stands. I don't think the crowd realized that Brad Pitt was in the car that was in front of them.' 'F1' opens in theaters June 27 from Apple and Warner Bros. See more reactions below. Buckle up #F1TheMovie is an high octane thrill ride. It's one of those films that you go to the movies for. Brad Pitt and Damson Idris are both dynamic. This is top gun for F1 racing fans. Truly a racing movie for a new generation. — B E A N Z 🔜 Summer Game Fest (@BeanzGotGamez) June 5, 2025 Joseph Kosinski's #F1TheMovie hits the gas and doesn't stop. The races are epic, the sound design, editing, cinematography, performances and music are all top notch. You definitely feel shades of TOP GUN MAVERICK in that it plays like an old school summer blockbuster.

Netflix Under the Stars: A Streaming Dream Turned into a Global Empire at Tudum 2025
Netflix Under the Stars: A Streaming Dream Turned into a Global Empire at Tudum 2025 originally appeared on L.A. Mag. Under the shimmering Los Angeles night sky, the Kia Forum was no longer just an arena—it had become a glittering cinematic universe. On May 31, 2025, Netflix hosted its most ambitious Tudum event to date, transforming the venue and its surrounding grounds into a living, breathing celebration of storytelling. Giant LED screens flickered with first looks, futuristic sculptures towered over photo opportunities, and a curated sensory playground of sights and sounds welcomed Hollywood's elite, Gen Z's TikTok royalty, and superfans from every corner of the the heart of it all was Ted Sarandos, the soul of son of a grandfather who emigrated from the breathtaking Greek island of Samos, Sarandos has never forgotten his roots. His rise through the entertainment industry reads like a screenplay of the American Dream—humble, determined, and electrifying. When he joined Netflix in the early 2000s, it was a scrappy tech company mailing DVDs in red envelopes. Fast-forward two decades, and Sarandos has helped sculpt it into a $416.22 billion entertainment titan with over 301.6 million subscribers worldwide. At Tudum 2025, the Greek-American CEO stood not only as a business leader but as the architect of a cultural what better way to honor that legacy than with a celebration that felt part film festival, part fashion show, part music video—and all Netflix. Lady Gaga Rises from the Dead—LiterallyThe moment that set social media ablaze came halfway through the night: an eerie silence descended on the Forum as smoke curled across the stage. Then, in a theatrical flourish only she could pull off, Lady Gaga rose from a blood-red coffin etched with the words 'Here Lies the Monster Queen.'Her entrance marked the debut of her original song 'Zombieboy', which she followed with a haunting rendition of 'Bloody Mary'—a track long associated with her fanbase's obsession with the supernatural. She closed her set with 'Abracadabra,' complete with dancers in gothic ballet corpses and floating chandeliers swaying to the performance wasn't just a concert—it was a proclamation. Gaga is officially joining Netflix's smash hit , playing the mysterious Professor Rosaline Rotwood in Season 2. The show returns in two parts—August 6 and September 3—turning Wednesdays into global events once more.'It's spooky. It's poetic. It's theatrical. It's me,' Gaga told Sofia Carson during a backstage segment streamed live to millions around the world. A Global Stage Built in Los AngelesBut Tudum 2025 wasn't only about what was on the screen. It was also about who showed up—and how Netflix brought its stories to life. Outside the Kia Forum, Netflix constructed an interactive 'Storyverse,' where fans could walk through immersive pop-ups themed after Squid Game, One Piece, Bridgerton, and even Happy Gilmore 2, starring an unretired Adam drone hovered, dazzled above the Forum as the audience roared in awe. LED arches pulsed with crimson and neon purple. Stylists, makeup artists, and celebrity glam teams brushed shoulders with TikTok creators, YouTubers, and journalists from Tokyo to São Paulo. The vibe was very much: the Emmys meets Coachella meets a designer-clad fever wasn't just a press event—it was a statement of cultural dominance. A Galaxy of Stars Beneath the Los Angeles SkyFollowing the live show, the action spilled into a lavish outdoor reception built entirely for the evening. Giant mirrored sculptures spun slowly in the breeze as guests sipped custom Netflix cocktails named after their favorite shows (yes, there was a Squid Game Sangria and a Sex Education Spritz). Oscar nominees clinked glasses with streaming darlings, and dancers performed on elevated platforms as ambient house music filled the among the crowd: Jenna Ortega, dressed in black lace and boots; Guillermo del Toro, deep in conversation with Rian Johnson; Addison Rae recording TikTok videos with the Stranger Things cast; and even Ben Affleck having fun with his best friend Matt Damon. It was a mosaic of entertainment—streaming, cinema, social, and everything in between. Legacy in Motion: Ted Sarandos and the Power of Global StorytellingAt the core of the evening was a quiet but powerful tribute to the man who made it all Sarandos didn't just bet on streaming—he bet on stories—international ones. Diverse ones. Risky ones. As Netflix grew, so did its mission: to empower creators everywhere, from Lagos to Lisbon, and from Norway to Argentina. It was Sarandos who saw potential in non-English language content before it became trendy. His greenlight of Money Heist, Squid Game, and Lupin turned local shows into global what drives him most isn't numbers—it's people. That, too, stems from his Greek-American heritage. The spirit of the Greek ideal of duty, which emphasizes doing good quietly, informs his leadership style. Sarandos is the person who knows the name of the camera operator, who checks in with junior executives, and who shares thoughts with filmmakers, because he understands that humans, not just algorithms, build Tudum, as he welcomed guests and thanked the team behind the event, Sarandos humbly deflected the spotlight. But make no mistake: it was his night. Netflix Hits a Record HighThe day after Tudum, Netflix stock hit an all-time high of $1,217.75, briefly making the company the second most valuable entertainment brand in the world. Netflix's market capitalization, or net worth, is approximately $416.22 billion—a staggering figure that underscores its dominance in the industry. And the ambition doesn't stop there: the company is aiming for a $1 trillion market cap by 2030, a goal that now feels less like a fantasy and more like a strategic inevitability. Industry insiders view the event not only as a celebration but also as a bold flex—proof that Netflix isn't just surviving in a crowded streaming space; it's thriving, innovating, and leading. As traditional studios grapple with theatrical declines and IP fatigue, Netflix has cracked the code: build community, embrace global voices, and create moments that feel personal, even when viewed by millions. The Night Stories Became MagicIn the final hour of the reception, as the lights dimmed and drones traced the Netflix 'N' across the stars, you could feel it: that unmistakable tingle of wonder. The same feeling you get watching a perfect pilot, reading a line of dialogue that hits too close, or losing sleep bingeing on something brilliant. That's what Tudum 2025 was about. Not just content, but connection. Not just a platform, but a pulse. And at the center of it all stood a man from a family of Greek immigrants—proof that sometimes the most powerful stories begin on a small island like Samos and end up reshaping the way the entire world watches TV. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 4, 2025, where it first appeared.

Lady Gaga Performs to Record-Breaking Crowd at Rio's Copacabana Beach
Lady Gaga performed to a record-breaking crowd Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, as an estimated 2.5 million people attended the singer's free concert on Copacabana Beach. The gig in Brazil marked the highest attended concert by a female artist in history, according to the singer's reps, eclipsing the 1.6 million people Madonna drew to the same venue last year. More from Rolling Stone Brazil Police Reveal Thwarted Bomb Attack Targeting Lady Gaga's Rio Concert Katy Perry Attends Lady Gaga Concert in Mexico City: 'So Proud of You' Lady Gaga Adds Seven Shows to Mayhem Ball Tour 'Tonight, we're making history … Thank you for making history with me,' Lady Gaga told the crowd, which included over a million Brazilians as well as a reported 500,000 Little Monsters who flew in for the special show, which injected over $100 million into Rio's economy, NPR reported. The record holder for largest concert crowd in history — according to Guinness World Records — remains Rod Stewart, who attracted a crowd of over 4 million to Copacabana Beach on New Year's Eve in 1994. The Copacabana Beach concert marked Lady Gaga's first concert in Brazil since 2012. 'I've missed you so much,' she told an enormous crowd that gathered the previous night just to watch her soundcheck. 'I know that this is not the first show here. I know this is just a rehearsal; it feels like it's the real show.' The concert itself found Gaga replicating the five-act 'gothic opera' that she performed during her headlining sets at Coachella and other Mayhem Ball stops thus far. She'll next travel to Singapore for four shows in that country later this month before the North American arena leg of the Mayhem Ball tour begins in July. Rio de Janeiro's tourism department previously announced plans to continue staging free Copacabana Beach concerts until at least 2028.
