F1 movie SEQUEL teased as ‘driver favourite’ linked
Key members of the F1 movie production crew have hinted at a sequel for the upcoming release, set to hit UK cinemas on June 25, shot at real-life race weekends across the F1 calendar with drivers and Hollywood stars like Brad Pitt, Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem. Seven-time F1 champion Lewis Hamilton receives a production credit for his role in maintaining realism in the film.
Director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer discussed the potential sequel on Australia’s Today Show, hinting at a Melbourne-based storyline due to high driver preferences for the track. The original film’s production faced delays due to Hollywood strikes, impacting the narrative and costs of the movie.
The decision to create a sequel will depend on the success, demand, and earnings of the first movie, with estimations suggesting it needs to surpass $600-700 million to be considered a success. Despite challenges, the possibility of a sequel lingers if the audience response and financial viability align.
