Formula One film led by Brad Pitt gets official title

Apex aims to deliver a thrilling spectacle, aiming to be the most accurate racing film ever made. In a clear commitment to realism, Kosinski and his crew have spent over 18 months developing the smallest moveable 6k camera to capture the cockpit's reality, immersing the audience in the fast-paced world of Formula One like never before.

It's a trend we've seen Kosinski lean into with his directorial style. His passion for practical stunts and capturing raw as well as authentic footage was clear in Top Gun: Maverick and it's a principle he plans to build on with Apex.

As Apex gains momentum, it couldn't have arrived at a better time. Formula One, already an international spectacle, has seen a surge in popularity in the United States due to the captivating Netflix documentary, Drive to Survive. This newfound audience presents a fertile ground for the arrival of Apex, promising to bring the thrill of the sport to a broader demographic.

There's still much we don't know about Apex, including its official release date. However, it's confirmed to have a theatrical release before eventually finding its permanent home on Apple TV+.

Given Kosinski's unorthodox approach, the innovative technology employed, and the superstar cast in place, Apex is set to deliver a visceral racing experience like never before. We can only imagine the racing heartbeats of Formula One and movie fans alike as they anticipate the merging of these two worlds. Despite the familiar narrative of a retired veteran returning for one last hurrah, the sheer spectacle of practical stunts, real races, and the commitment to capture the authenticity of the sport promise to breathe new life into the trope.

This is undoubtedly a journey into the heart of Formula One, full of high-speed chases, daring overtakes, and the relentless pursuit of victory.

In the meantime, racing fans can look forward to checking out the live-action adaptation of Gran Turismo on August 11.
