If you haven't heard, there's going to be a feature movie about the Isle of Man TT, starring Channing Tatum and produced by Brad Pitt. Not to be confused with the upcoming IOM TT docuseries, filmed at the 2024 TT, which is also produced by Brad Pitt's company, Plan B, and a part of the feature movie package.
Production for the 'Isle of Man' will begin during this year’s event, marking another major milestone in bringing the TT and the Isle of Man to a global audience. Such amazing racing deserves more international reach, so seeing this project take place and, more importantly, knowing it's being filmed correctly is immensely important to me and should be the same for TT fans around the world.
Watching the TT through a screen is already removing viewers somewhat from the essence of the spectacle, so thankfully, the production aims to get them as authentically close to the action as possible by not just filming on the Isle but by capturing the actual racing and atmosphere. The film will showcase the Island’s landscape, character, and identity to new global audiences, supporting broader ambitions around tourism, profile, and long-term economic growth.
