Brad Pitt just unleashed two wild posters for F1: The Movie—and Formula 1's elite are SCREAMING. From Monaco's glitzy screening to the paddock's mixed reviews, the buzz is electric, but the stakes are higher than a pit stop gone wrong.
F1: The Movie races into UK cinemas on June 25 and U.S. theaters on June 27, timed perfectly as a summer blockbuster to rev up new fans. Expect high-octane debates and a few burnt-out purists by July.
The posters flaunt a $300 million budget (same as a small country's GDP) and a savage Hollywood spin—think Top Gun: Maverick meets a soap opera if Tom Cruise traded jets for checkered flags. The cast, including Pitt and Damson Idris, struts in racing gear, but the “4DX” gimmick feels like a desperate lap to grab casual viewers.
This isn't Hollywood's first rodeo with motorsport myths—remember Le Mans with Steve McQueen? An anonymous crew member hinted, “Pitt's crash scenes were so real, we nearly called a medic.” Drivers like Lando Norris call it “inspirational” for kids, while Carlos Sainz admits it's “too American” for hardcore fans. Fernando Alonso flags inaccuracies, yet Charles Leclerc raves about the “incredible” driving shots—proof it's built for a broader audience, not just pit lane purists.
Now pick a side. Genius or garbage? Would you watch this or burn $20? No judgment. (…Okay, some judgment.)
