The F1 film starring Brad Pitt and co-produced by Lewis Hamilton will be released in the summer of 2025. Some time ago, the press wrote that the project would be one of the most expensive in the history of film production and that the film budget would exceed $ 300 million.
However, lead producer Jerry Bruckheimer and film director Joseph Kosinski claim that the figures do not match reality and that the budget is noticeably smaller.
“I’ve worked on a lot of movies and I’m used to the press inflating budgets for various reasons,” Joseph Kosinski told Deadline. “But I’ve never come across a situation where the press numbers were so inconsistent with the real numbers. I don’t know where that number comes from.”
The director’s words are confirmed by Jerry Bruckheimer: “People don’t understand that we shoot in favorable locations. In England, many European countries and Abu Dhabi, they give big discounts, which reduces the production budget.
We have also raised more money for the car through sponsorship than some Formula 1 teams. When you take all that into account, our costs are lower than people think.
We never reshot anything, not a single scene. So the rumors about a big budget are not true.”
