“It was an opportunity, as I understand it, for Joseph Kosinski who was also here this weekend, the director , to actually show the drivers and everybody in Formula 1 that this is still a project that is ongoing despite the actors’ strike and now the writers’ strike has been concluded successfully with an agreement on both sides.
“Once the actors are back to work, they can carry on production. But clearly it is going to be offset into next year.The movie has no official title yet.Pitt and Idris joined the F1 drivers’ briefing at Silverstone, and had a garage set up in the colours of their fictional team , for scenes which will be used in the movie.
