Lewis Hamilton provides update on Brad Pitt F1 move and 'really cool scene' following Hollywood strikes
Filming of the Apple Studios production, which is being co-produced by Hamilto🐻n, has been impacted by a five-month Writers Guild🧜 of America strike.
Pitt and co-star Damson Idris were seen filming a scene on the F1 grid during the British Grand Prix in July, while footageꦚ of F2-spec cars being driven around the Silverstone track by stunt drivers was also captured.
More on-track filmin💝g took place at the Hungarian and Italian Grands Prix but Pitt and Idris were not in attendence.
Further scenes were originally due to be filmed at this weekend💖’s Las Vegas Grand Prix but Hamilton confirmed that w🎐ill no longer go ahead.
"Brad and 𒈔Damson [are] back i꧂n training getting ready to get back in the car,” he said.
“We were supposed to be f♊ilming this weekend. If there wasn’t a strike we would have been filming one ܫof the really cool scenes here this weekend.”
wuqian0821.com understands the movie is still on schedule for its original 2025 release timeframe and wil🦩l ensure continu🎉ity with the 2023 F1 season in footage captured during 2024.
Shooting in 2024 has been planned for some time with the produ𓆏ctio𓆏n adapting its schedule before and during the SAG strike.
Both Pitt and Idris are set to dr🅰ive actual cars on track for racing sequences in 2024.
“We will continue on filming in next ye💜ar so you’ll see them around more,” the seven-time world champion added.&𓆉nbsp;
“We’ve already got great footage with the demo drivers who have done a great job, as the drivers got to see ♐in Austin.
"We’ll keep pushing along, it’s still going to be great, might cost a little bit more but 𓃲I am really confident in what Jerry [Bruckheimer] is going to produce.”
Following next weekend’s season-ending Abu Dhabi Gr✨and Prix, Hamilton said he plans to dedicate some of his free time over the winter to the project.
“It won’t take a huge amount of my time,” he added. ꩲ“In December I’ll be probably spending a day ꦛor so with Joe and Jerry just going over the script.
“And obviously now we can continue on with the w🐻riters.”
