After starring collectively in Interview with the Vampire, Brad Pitt has been seeking to reunite with Tom Cruise (provided he doesn’t have to hang off the side of a plane), and director Joseph Kosinski thinks he’s discovered the proper challenge for them to take action: a crossover between Days of Thunder and F1.
While talking with GQ, Kosinski was requested if he had a pitch for a Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise film. “Well, right now, it’d be Cole Trickle, who was [Cruise’s] Days of Thunder character, we find out that he and Sonny Hayes have a past,” Kosinski mentioned. “They had been rivals in some unspecified time in the future, possibly crossed paths… I heard about this epic go-kart battle on Interview with a Vampire that Brad and Tom had, and who wouldn’t pay to see these two go head-to-head on the observe?“
Honestly, that’s a enjoyable thought. Cruise has been contemplating a sequel to Days of Thunder, so returning to the racetrack with Pitt in tow isn’t exterior the realm of chance. Yes, I do know, there are totally different studios concerned, however a person can dream.
The official synopsis for F1: “Dubbed ‘the greatest that never was,’ Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.” The movie will hit theaters on June 27.
Our personal Chris Bumbray beloved F1, saying the movie “might rank as one of the most awe-inspiring works of pure spectacle seen on the big screen in years.” He continued, ” While some could thumb their nostril at the truth that it’s intentionally telling a well-known story, it could possibly’t be denied that F1 is an absolute rollercoaster trip of a film, and – like Sinners – helps make the case for theatres nonetheless being important to a specific type of filmmaking. Hopefully, that is the blockbuster hit it deserves to be.” You can take a look at the remainder of his overview right here.
