Apple has previously teased that it wants to make a sequel to F1: The Movie, but today the film’s producer officially confirmed that one is in the works.
Producer Jerry Bruckheimer confirms F1 sequel is in the works
A sequel to the Brad Pitt blockbuster F1 is officially in the works, the film’s producer Jerry Bruckheimer has told the BBC. […]
Speaking to the BBC at the annual Academy Awards luncheon in Los Angeles on Tuesday, Bruckheimer said: “We’re working on a sequel.”
The producer declined to give a timeline for the project or confirm casting details, including whether Pitt would reprise his role. But Bruckheimer added that he would “of course” be involved in casting decisions.
It’s no surprise, considering F1: The Movie was not only Apple’s biggest theatrical hit to date, but also now the most successful sports movie ever at the box office.
The official confirmation of a sequel being in the works also makes sense considering Apple’s investment in the Formula 1 sport.
Starting next month, F1 races will begin streaming on Apple TV in the US.
Last week Apple unveiled a wide array of new movies it plans to release this year, but none of them were theatrical films. Every title will instead go straight to Apple TV.
It seems despite the success of F1 last summer, Apple still wants to take great care in which titles to give a major theatrical push.
