The Latest Breaking News from Jerry Bruckheimer

Are the tides turning for a Depp return?

The idea of Depp returning, even in a limited role, has drawn mixed reactions from long-time fans.

Brad Pitt revealed that the plot of F1: The Movie took inspiration from some infamous moments in the championship’s history – notably the 2008 Crashgate scandal that rocked the Singapore Grand Prix and resulted in bans from Formula 1 for several members of the Renault team.

Pitt had plenty of driving experience – including behind the wheel of modified F2 cars – while filming the movie over the last two years.

The Hollywood star plays Formula One driver Sonny Hayes in F1: The Movie.

Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise hadn’t been photographed together in more than two decades before their surprise reunion at the European premiere of the F1 movie. However, this wasn't the first time that the pair's lives and careers intersected with the world of motorsport.

One less thing on the to-do list.

Finally... it’s F1 movie launch season. But is the film, dubbed by one critic “Barbie for men” any good? Our correspondents were given a preview showing in Montreal and give their verdict. We hear from the producer Jerry Bruckheimer and one of the stars Kerry Condon.

When Lewis Hamilton signed on to co-produce F1: The Movie, there was a collective sigh of relief. The seven-time world champion would help ensure authenticity – not only surrounding the technical aspects of racing and the intricacies of the driver experience, but hopefully around inclusion, too.
