  Remember when they introduced a preview screening of Maverick with Tom on the planes from this film? And that came out three years ago, they've been making this forever.

  So too F1 film!
  

  Filming for the Formula 1 (F1) movie, starring Brad Pitt, began in July 2023 at Silverstone Circuit

  
  Filming ended December 2024. It's out in June. F1 directed by Joseph Kosinski. He directed Top Gun Maverick.

  Yeah, I guess with that one they had to wait two weeks every time they wanted to shoot a bit of race footage so I'll let them off that one! :D

  I watched the original on Monday and then DR last night. The contrast is huge in terms of what the core of the movies are. Possibly, because I'm an old git, I much prefer the older style of the original. A genuine plot with characters trying to outsmart each other and time for tension to build within a semi-reatistic centrol plot idea. DR, by contrast, is much longer but the plot is much simpler. Character developement is sacrificed for action scenes that , IMHO, are just too long. The original is a real gem...love it. I'm a big fan of McQ but, to be fair, De Palma is in a different league

  So excited to see this film. I'm going to watch 5,6 and 7 over the next few days before with the Mrs, before we see it next week.
  
  Have they brought the release day forwards? I thought it was the 21st May? My local cinemas have got screenings for Monday and Tuesday next week?

  Massively looking forward to this after the misfire of DR and hoping to stay spoiler free before opening night. It has been a great run for the franchise since ‘96, with more consistently high quality output than Bond during the period.
