F1
Brad Pitt revealed the first ten minutes of his upcoming movieF1while attendingCinemaCon.
In addition to Pitt, the cast ofF1includes Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, and Javier Bardem.
The opening minutes ofF1were only previewed for attendees of CinemaCon, includingScreenRant’s Mansoor Mithaiwala who was in attendance.
Someone then knocks on the window and Sonny (Brad Pitt) wakes up.
He starts prepping for a race.
After hes ready, he gets out of a van.
The screen reads 24 hours at Daytona, 11:56pm.
He nods and gets into the car.
We see lots of shots from in and around the vehicle, lots of the pit crew.
The announcer makes an announcement of Sonny joining the race, saying hes got a ways ahead of him.
He jumps the sides, bumps into cars, flashes his lights at some of the drivers.
He and another driver get into a straight-shot drag race, bumping into each other.
Sonny tricks him and that driver, in a BMW, goes off the track.
Sonny finishes his stint as driver by taking the lead.
He tells his replacement driver, If you lose that lead, Ill kill ya.
He walks into the back and says, No way we can lose.
We then see the team winning, which is apparently Sonnys first win at Daytona.
After the race, Sonny gets his stuff and leaves.
It was a one and done situation for him.
We then see Sonny in a laundromat, planning out a cross-country roadtrip.
Javier Bardems Ruben arrives at the laundromat in fancy clothes and a fancy car.
Sonny and Ruben are friends and catch up while playing pinball.
Ruben tries to pitch Sonny a new job because his best driver left for a new team.
Ruben needs Sonny to do nine races otherwise he may lose the team.
It then cuts to an F1 course and presumably Sonny driving the car.
The clip wraps up with various shots of the cast and races.
Despite being past his prime,Sonny Hayes is clearly a very skilled driver.
This is probably why he is reckless while he races at Daytona.
WhileF1is not based on a true story, it is a film that was made for fans of racing.
The racing scenes inF1look incredible, which makes sense since it is directed byTop Gun: Maverick’sJoseph Kosinski.
Therefore, it seems likeF1is set up to be one of the biggest movies of the summer.
