Joseph Kosinski shares his 'dream pitch' for F1 sequel starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise
Washington DC [US], June 27 (ANI): Joseph Kosinski has already started thinking about the sequel of Brad Pitt starrer 'F1'. He expressed his wish to cast Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in an epic 'Days of Thunder' crossover, reported Variety.
"F1" director Joseph Kosinski spoke to GQ Magazine UK as quoted by Variety and said his dream for a sequel to his Brad Pitt-racing drama is to actually bring in Tom Cruise for a 'Days of Thunder' crossover. Tom Cruise played the role of a racer in the movie, which was directed by Tony Scott.
Kosinski previously directed Cruise in 'Top Gun: Maverick,' which earned 1.4 billion USD at the box office, and the duo are currently developing a third 'Top Gun' movie together.
The director shared his dream pitch for a Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise crossover in the 'F1' sequel, reported Variety.
"Well, right now, it'd be Cole Trickle, who was [Cruise's] 'Days of Thunder' character, we find out that he and [Brad Pitt's] Sonny Hayes have a past. They were rivals at some point, maybe crossed paths. I heard about this epic go-kart battle on 'Interview With a Vampire' that Brad and Tom had, and who wouldn't pay to see those two go head-to-head on the track?" said Kosinski as quoted by Variety.
Kosinski originally planned to bring Pitt and Cruise together on the big screen in his own version of 'Ford v Ferrari.' The actors were going to do all of their own racing in the movie, but the studio would not approve Kosinski's desired budget. James Mangold ended up directing 'Ford v Ferrari' with Christian Bale and Matt Damon instead, reported Variety.
As per the outlet, Pitt and Cruise haven't starred together in a movie since 1994's horror classic 'Interview With the Vampire,' although they have remained friends.
Cruiose recently showed up at the 'F1' London premiere and posed for photos with Pitt, who told E! News earlier this month that he's interested in acting with Cruise again on one condition: 'I'm not gonna hang my ass off airplanes and shit like that.'
Kosinski's 'F1' has been released in theatres on June 27. (ANI)

Sitaare Zameen Par 2nd Friday India Box Office: Aamir Khan starrer holds strong amidst new found competition; Nets steady Rs 6.25 crore on day 8
Aamir Khan and Genelia Deshmukh led Sitaare Zameen Par, directed by RS Prasanna held steady on 2nd Friday at the India box office, adding a winning Rs 6-6.50 crore net. The numbers more or less match the first Thursday numbers and this indicates a strong hold, since there are new movies like Maa, Kannappa and F1 that have flooded the marketplace. For Sitaare Zameen Par to remain the most preferred movie option among the abovementioned films goes to show the support it is enjoying. The Day Wise India Net Collections Of Sitaare Zameen Par Are As Under Sitaare Zameen Par Is All Set To Enter The Rs 100 Crore India Net Club After the second Friday, Sitaare Zameen Par stands at Rs 93.75 crore and it will cross the Rs 100 crore mark tomorrow, that is its second Saturday. The expectation is that the movie will almost double itself on Saturday and then consolidate further on Sunday, for a Rs 30 crore range 2nd weekend. An under 50 percent weekend to weekend drop shall be a something that the makers will be very proud of. Sitaare Zameen Par Is Likely To Face Stiff Competition In Theatres In The Next Week It is competition next week that will be slightly challenging for Sitaare Zameen Par. While F1 will retain IMAX screens and premium multiplex screens, Maa, Jurassic World Rebirth and Metro... In Dino will also fight for screens. Sitaare Zameen Par, being a film targeting Metros, will feel the heat of the competition. Regardless, one would expect that the dramedy would have done substantial business in theatres by the start of the third weekend. For the cost and scale of the film, Sitaare Zameen Par has done well for itself so far. Definitely, it isn't like the business one would expect from a quintessential Aamir Khan film. But, the film was written off by most before it released, and now it is going to challenge Housefull 5 and Raid 2's lifetime India net total. Sitaare Zameen Par In Theatres Sitaare Zameen Par plays in theatres now. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Sitaare Zameen Par.
