Why it matters: Director Joseph Kosinski suggests Tom Cruise's tendency to push limits would have brought more "scare" to the F1 movie set compared to lead actor Brad Pitt.
The details:
- Kosinski, known for Oblivion and Top Gun: Maverick with Cruise, considered the actor for the film due to their long-standing collaboration.
- Producer Jerry Bruckheimer also has a significant history with Cruise, collaborating on both Top Gun films and Days of Thunder.
- Despite this, Academy Award-winning actor Brad Pitt was cast as Sonny Hayes, a character Lewis Hamilton, serving as an executive producer, describes as "a racer at heart."
- Kosinski noted that both actors possess natural driving talent, but Cruise's relentless pursuit of limits could have made the set more intense.
- Action-vehicle supervisor Graham Kelly echoed this, stating a crash would have been likely with Cruise due to his extreme limits, unlike Pitt who is more mindful of his abilities and knows when to decline a stunt.
What's next: The F1 movie is scheduled for international release on June 25, followed by June 27 in the United States and Canada.
