After starring collectively in Interview with the Vampire, Brad Pitt has been seeking to reunite with Tom Cruise (offered he doesn’t have to hold off the aspect of a aircraft), and director Joseph Kosinski thinks he’s discovered the proper undertaking for them to take action: a crossover between Days of Thunder and F1.
Whereas talking with GQ, Kosinski was requested if he had a pitch for a Brad Pitt/Tom Cruise film. “Effectively, proper now, it’d be Cole Trickle, who was [Cruise’s] Days of Thunder character, we discover out that he and Sonny Hayes have a previous,” Kosinski stated. “They had been rivals sooner or later, 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?“
Truthfully, that’s a enjoyable concept. Cruise has been contemplating a sequel to Days of Thunder, so returning to the racetrack with Pitt in tow isn’t outdoors the realm of chance. Sure, I do know, there are completely different studios concerned, however a person can dream.
The official synopsis for F1: “Dubbed ‘the best that by no means was,’ Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the Nineties till an accident on the observe almost ended his profession. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), proprietor of a struggling FORMULA 1 crew that’s on the breaking point. Ruben convinces Sonny to return again to FORMULA 1 for one final shot at saving the crew and being the very best on this planet. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the crew’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his personal tempo. However because the engines roar, Sonny’s previous catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competitors—and the highway to redemption shouldn’t be one thing you may journey alone.” The movie will hit theaters on June 27.
Our personal Chris Bumbray liked F1, saying the movie “may rank as some of the awe-inspiring works of pure spectacle seen on the large display screen in years.” He continued, ” Whereas some could thumb their nostril at the truth that it’s intentionally telling a well-recognized story, it could actually’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 may take a look at the remainder of his overview proper right here.
