‘Top Gun: Maverick‘ director Joseph Kosinski is probably one of the hottest filmmakers in Hollywood currently, thanks to the crazy success of the ‘Top Gun’ sequel. It’s one of those rare movies that’s beloved by critics and the general audience.
Every studio wants to work with Kosinski, including Apple. Apple Original Films just won the bidding war for Kosinski’s upcoming Formula One racing film.
The movie stars Brad Pitt as a driver who comes out of retirement to compete alongside a rookie driver and the titans of the sport. The script was written by Ehren Kruger, who was one of the three credited writers on Top Gun: Maverick.
The yet-to-be-titled film will be produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment and seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton.
It’s not clear who will star alongside Pitt, or when the film is scheduled to be released, but you would think Apple would want to move quickly, to capitalize on the heat wave surrounding Kosinski.
As always, we’ll keep you posted.
