While the sports movie was heard through the grapevine, there was no mention of its name. Well now, according to a report from Collider, we now know it’s going to be called climaxwith Pitt in the lead role of a retired racing driver.
Announcement climax It came in somewhat sarcastic fashion, with a surprising tweet from ESPN’s apparently since-deleted F1 Twitter handle. However, from Collider’s report we know that it read:
“Brad Pitt has his own garage in Silverstone this weekend. His new movie ‘Apex’ will be filmed on location for the first time at the British Grand Prix.”
Alongside this, Pete’s character is revealed as Sonny Hayes, and an image of a “younger” version of himself in a driver’s suit is seen in the background. Other than that, we know that Pete already has his own garage at the famous Silverstone track this coming weekend, in the middle of the British Grand Prix. The garage is designed just like a decorated F1 driver, and Formula One’s Twitter handle revealed the actual race car Pete will be driving. It will obviously be modified by Mercedes into an F2 style, while retaining the look of an F1 car. Scenes filmed on the track literally between races will be filmed throughout the Grand Prix Championship, with no interference whatsoever in the event itself. However, it’s clear that Pete’s appearance has already garnered a lot of fan attention on the site. As for the introduction climaxThere aren’t many details yet, but the movie is about a retired Formula 1 driver, played by Pete, who gets back on the track to mentor a young, up-and-coming driver.

Jerry Bruckheimer will co-produce with them.
Director Kosinski will focus on practical effects
Kosinski is completely focused on bringing in climax to life through practical and exciting influences, which is arguably the real catalyst for Top Gun: Maverickhis success, no doubt influenced by Tom Cruise’s unwavering devotion to that very craft which he brings into every aspect of his business. Mission: Impossible franchise. Kosinski previously revealed in an interview with The Wrap how he finds it ironic that younger generations have become so accustomed to CGI from the start when watching movies, that they see its technological predecessor as new and “innovative.”
“It’s almost funny to me to see people who are so fascinated by real photography. Young people haven’t seen much of it. They’re used to using CGI (computer-generated imagery) as a tool for big movies when they shoot something for real, it feels innovative.” …that’s exactly the ‘Formula One’ approach…to shoot and capture real races and real cars. It’s going to be very challenging but exciting for me.”
There’s no doubt that Kosinski will capture some stunning footage from this weekend’s production at Silverstone, and bring a similar dose of practical charm to a movie that will appeal to fans of different demographics.
