Lewis Hamilton says he's planning three more movies after Brad Pitt F1 flick
Dawn Apollo Films, Lewis Hamilton's movie production company, played a big role in the creation of 'F1: The Movie', starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris which releases this summer Safe to say Lewis Hamilton has enjoyed his role as a producer on the upcoming Formula 1 movie. Though his own production company, Dawn Apollo Films, the Ferrari star says he has three more projects in mind for the future. But first, he and everyone else in the sport will see just how well the F1 movie is received by audiences when it releases in cinemas next month. It stars Brad Pitt as a veteran driver called out of retirement to drive alongside a talented young starlet played by British actor Damson Idris. Creators have tried to make the movie as authentic as possible. To that end, many scenes were filmed live at actual F1 race weekends, meaning real-life drivers will also feature on the silver screen, while Pitt and Idris drove specially-modified single-seater race cars themselves. While most people still have a month to wait before they see the movie, F1 drivers and other high-profile personnel were treated to a special screening in Monte Carlo this week, ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix. Not that it was the first viewing for a nervous Hamilton. "I've seen it like 20 times already, at least," he said. "All of a sudden, I've got all the drivers there, I was sat in the middle and I was nervous. I was like, 'Oh God, everyone's seeing it for the first time'. And it was great to look around and see some of the reactions. "I really care what the drivers think and I wanted them to think highly of it. I think the great thing is the sound is great, the image is incredible. It's something that's never been done in Formula 1 before, so it's something I'm really proud of." F1: The Movie is directed by Joseph Kosinski, who will hope it is as big a hit at the box office as his 2022 film Top Gun: Maverick. It is also co-produced by Jerry Bruckheimer who has had a hand in huge Hollywood franchises over a more than 50-year career, alongside Hamilton. And the 40-year-old Ferrari racer perhaps gave a glimpse of what he plans to be doing when he retires from racing in F1 as he confirmed that he has more movie projects in the works. He added: "Speaking to Hans [Zimmer, the score composer] and having Hans come on board and doing this score, I'm a huge fan of his – so just the whole project was incredible. "At the beginning you see all the different logos for the production houses and my one comes up, which I worked on for so long – Dawn Apollo. It comes up like all planetary, that was all my idea. "I've got three concepts that I'm writing. We will be producing more movies over the coming years. I've got these concepts, these ideas that I've come up with for movies. At least two of them will be animations. One of them, we're already in the phase of the first part of the script already. So it's exciting."
