Apple wins distribution rights
Top Gun: Maverick's director Joseph Kosinski has been competing for distribution rights to F1 race movies, and it seems that Apple has finally won the distribution rights.
Brad Pitt will star in this movie, and Lewis Hamilton will be the consultant for the F1 driver.
Until now, Paramount, MGM, Sony, Universal, Netflix and Amazon have been competing for this distribution right, but Apple is about 130 million to 140 million dollars (about 15 to 16.2 billion yen). It is said that it was made a successful bid by putting in.
For the time being, at the moment when it is sold, if there is no problem as it is that it will enter into a formal contract from now on, it seems that one day the movie about this F1 race will be broadcast on Apple TV +.
In this movie, Brad Pitt is a veteran driver.
Brad Pitt is already 58 years old, and it seems that he is a driver who will retire, but even so (because the race drivers are young now), isn't he a little too old for an F1 driver? There seems to be some indication.
Ehren Kruger (Transformers series, etc.) is the script, and the producer is Jerry Bruckheimer (Armageddon, etc.).
I don't have the image of Brad Pitt = F1 driver at all (sorry ...), so I'm looking forward to seeing how this is actually made into a work ^^
