Motorsport has truly captured the imagination of Hollywood, with Brad Pitt set to produce a new film on the challenging and deadly Isle of Man TT races, with Channing Tatum starring and Amazon MGM Studios backing the project. Pitt, a bike racing enthusiast, will bring his expertise to this new venture, complementing his past involvement in motorsport-related movies. The plot and characters of the film remain under wraps, but director Reid Carolin has signed on, alongside writers Bryan Johnson and Jason Kellar, known for their work on ‘Ford v Ferrari.’
In conjunction with the film, a four-part docuseries on the Isle of Man TT races was produced by Box to Box, set to offer unprecedented access to the event and its riders, distributed by Amazon. The legendary race, known for its treacherous course and history of fatal accidents, will be explored in both the film and series, delving into the motivations and consequences of participating in such extreme competition. The decision to pair the film and docuseries was strategic, leveraging Amazon MGM Studios’ global reach to maximize impact and audience engagement.
