Apple's Formula 1 movie release date
Apple's upcoming Formula 1 film, directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, is set to be released on June 25, 2025. The filming process was delayed due to a strike by Hollywood actors last year, prompting the production team to capture footage for the 2024 Formula 1 race. Although it hasn't been named yet, the film has attracted attention, especially after the success of Kosinski's Top Gun: The Lone Ranger.
International and North American release dates
The film is scheduled to premiere in the international market on June 25, 2025, and North American audiences will be available two days later on June 27, 2025. A press release from Formula 1 highlighted that global theatrical screenings will also include IMAX theaters, promising audiences crisp images and powerful digital audio designed to bring audiences into the heart of the film and enhance their movie-going experience.
Cast, production, and budget updates
Starring Brad Pitt as a former Formula 1 driver and co-starring Damson Idris as a rookie race car driver, the film also saw seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton contribute to the production and scriptplay. Despite the setbacks of the actors' strike, filming continued, with key scenes filmed during the 2023 Formula 1 event. Due to delays, the production team had to adapt to changes in car design and sponsor logos, resulting in a reported increase in the budget of more than $300 million, potentially making it one of the most expensive films ever made.
