The ”F1” movie is poised for success with its star, Brad Pitt, Formula One Management’s support, the acclaimed ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ directorial team, and a renowned soundtrack architect.
Kevin Weaver of Atlantic Records is known for turning movie soundtracks into cultural phenomena, like ‘The Greatest Showman,’ ‘Suicide Squad,’ ‘Twisters,’ and ‘Barbie,’ making him a sought-after collaborator.
Weaver curated a bold roster for the ‘F1’ soundtrack, including Tiësto, Ed Sheeran, RAYE, Tate McRae, and BLACKPINK’s ROSÉ, aiming to resonate with Gen Z and broaden F1’s appeal.
Despite knowing little about the sport initially, Weaver recognized the potential of the ‘F1’ brand and its ability to create a unique cinematic experience.
Having helmed successful projects like the ‘Barbie’ film soundtrack, Weaver understands the importance of aligning music with the film’s essence to shape cultural trends.
His method involves collaborating closely with directors and producers to ensure the music seamlessly integrates with the film’s narrative, striking a balance between serving the movie’s purpose and showcasing top artists.
Weaver’s approach to scoring films centers on capturing the essence of the narrative through carefully selected music, a process that involves intense collaboration with the creative team to create a soundtrack that resonates with audiences.
