It's A Race To Win An Untitled Film With Lewis Hamilton And Brad Pitt Attached
It's A Race To Win An Untitled Film With Lewis Hamilton And Brad Pitt Attached-November 2024

Lewis Hamilton at the 69th Cannes Festival in 2016. At least he has red carpet experience?

It’s great to be a race fan and cinephile as of late, as racing biopics and new series continue to flood your streams and screens. Films like , and , along with Netflix’s behind-the-scenes look at the highest echelon of racing, Formula 1, in , has opened the floodgates to more films, series and documentaries coming to your favorite channels. Now, the latest project expected to grace Hollywood is said to involve , along with actor Brad Pitt.

According to , the untitled project also has big names attached off-screen such as filmmaker Joseph Kosinski and screenwriter Ehren Kruger, both having worked on the new , along with its notable producer . Bruckheimer is a name you most-likely know for other car enthusiast-loving films like (2000), , and the original .

As Hamilton takes to the track in Abu Dhabi this weekend to, Hollywood’s biggest studios and streaming giants are also racing to win the bidding war for this new, unnamed racing title. Those competing include Paramount, MGM and Sony, as well as Netflix, Apple and Amazon. Even Disney, who’s most recent notable “racing” films include the franchise and , is taking aim to be the home studio for the film.

The real question remains: What will the film be about? While the newest racing biopics have recreated high-stakes and notable scenes from races of yore—taking viewers back to the days of Niki Lauda and James Hunt or (which to this day, I’m still bitter about , how it tragically ended and believe he should have gotten that win), but Lewis is as of right now, 36 years of age. And while yes, age doesn’t matter, and he does already have one hell of a career to look back on with to boot, will this untitled film really be about him?

Other far-reaching ideas could be his battle with Red Bull’s Max Verstappen this 2021 season, coming to a close on Sunday. Or that time ... and ?

I have my theories. But I’d also like to know yours. With Lewis Hamilton and Brad Pitt involved, what Formula 1 tale could take to the screen in the near future? Send me your silver screen pitches and perhaps we can get a meeting with one of the losing studios after this all blows over.
