Motorsport has well and truly captured the imagination of Hollywood. On the heels of the F1 summer blockbuster, which stars Brad Pitt as a driver for the fictional APX GP team, the A-lister will turn his attention to a new movie centered around one of the most challenging and possibly deadly races in the world — the Isle of Man TT, also known as the Tourist Trophy races.
Channing Tatum has been tapped to star in the project, which was picked up by Amazon MGM Studios, while Pitt will produce the film with his company Plan B Entertainment. The Magic Mike actor is a bike racing enthusiast, and has even travelled to the Isle of Man for the TT races in the past. He’s also appeared in several motorsport-adjacent movies, including the 2005 film, Supercross and the 2017 Steven Soderbergh-directed NASCAR flick, Logan Lucky.
