Brad Pitt Lands F1 Movie Lead Role: Tom Cruise's High-Risk Style and Budget Concerns Cited

The highly anticipated F1 movie has sparked interest beyond the racing world. The casting of the lead role has been a subject of much speculation. Director Joseph Kosinski, known for Top Gun: Maverick, recently revealed that both Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise were considered for the part. However, a source close to the production, action vehicle supervisor Graham Kelly, stated that Cruise's high cost and his famously intense, high-risk approach to stunts were key factors in the decision to cast Pitt. "Tom pushes it to the limit," Kelly said, "It's terrifying working with him." In contrast, Pitt was described as calm, measured, and realistic. The choice ultimately came down to budget and safety concerns. The F1 movie is set for release on June 27th, and anticipation is high for the film's debut.
