Kerry Condon is set to join Brad Pitt in a new big-budget Formula One film.
The Apple Studios film will be directed by Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski. The untitled feature will follow Pitt as a racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a younger driver and take his final stab at glory on the track as the younger driver’s teammate.
Meanwhile, the Tipperary-born actress will be the team’s technical director, overseeing the design and development of the sophisticated race car, entertainment news website Deadline reported. The actress recently garnered rave reviews as well as Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award nominations for her performance as Siobhan in The Banshees of Inisherin.
Condon will next be seen opposite Jude Law in the Disney+ production Star Wars: Skeleton Crew , the Goonies-like series hailing from Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts and Spider-Man: Homecoming writer Chris Ford. She will also star in the forthcoming Atomic Monster and Blumhouse supernatural thriller Night Swim alongside Wyatt Russell, as well as In The Land Of Saints And Sinners alongside Liam Neeson and Ciaran Hinds.
