Sports News] In the middle of this year, renowned movie star Brad Pitt and F1
racing made a joint announcement that surprised fans. They revealed plans to
film a new F1-themed racing movie called “Apex” at the British
Silverstone Circuit. However, an unfortunate incident occurred during filming.
A screenwriters’ strike initiated by the Screen Actors Guild of America
(SAG-AFTRA) caused a significant delay in the progress of the film for nearly
six months. As a result, there were concerns that the movie’s release would be
pushed from the originally scheduled end of 2024 to early 2025. However, F1
racing officials have recently provided an update, stating that the movie will
still be released in 2024 as planned. They assure that the footage shot in 2024
will maintain continuity with the 2023 F1 season. “Apex” is a
star-studded movie featuring Brad Pitt in a leading role and directed by
current Mercedes-Benz star racing driver, Lewis Hamilton. The film includes
exciting portrayals of current F1 drivers from various teams.
