Today, the makers of the upcoming Formula 1 movie in Miami talked about the preparations for the filming process, which will begin in July at Silverstone during the British Grand Prix, and in fact, the crew of cinematographers will become the 11th team of the championship.
Renowned Hollywood producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Joseph Kosinski, who directed the hit movie Top Gun: Maverick, participated in the press conference.
The recent experience gained while working on this film came in handy again: on the basis of this, a miniature camera was developed in a year and a half that can shoot with a resolution of 6K. It will be used for special shots in the cockpit of a racing car.
The car, outwardly very similar to the real one, will be driven by Brad Pitt – the Mercedes team is developing it and testing has already begun. Lewis Hamilton, who acts as a co-producer and consultant, is in constant contact with the project managers, advises the screenwriters and generally ensures that the film captures the reality of modern Formula 1 as accurately as possible.
According to Kosinski, they have taken John Frankenheimer’s legendary 1966 film “Grand Prix” as their benchmark, but would definitely like to make an even more impressive film. By the way, Tom Cruise, who is not involved in this film, has already offered his services.
