Baku, April 25, AZERTAC
Brad Pitt will reportedly race Lewis Hamilton in the next British Grand Prix, risking billions of pounds worth of cars, according to Daily Mail.
The actor, 59, has received special permission to whizz round the first parade lap at Silverstone, as part of a new movie shoot, according to The Sun.
Formula One driver Lewis, 38, is an executive producer on the blockbuster, being made by his new production company, Dawn Apollo Films.
The upcoming film, set for release next year, will see Brad play a veteran F1 driver who comes out of retirement to mentor an up-and-coming motorist.
A source said: 'Watching Brad Pitt leading the field in the British Grand Prix will be an incredible and surreal moment for TV viewers and fans at Silverstone this July.'
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Brad, Lewis and Apple TV+.
Last June, Deadline revealed Apple had won the rights to the film in a reported $130 million deal.
The movie, which is yet untitled, will be directed by Joseph Kosinski, who recently helmed the critically-lauded sequel Top Gun: Maverick.
Brad's character will make one last bid for racing glory as he tries to mentor a young driver against some of the fastest racers in Formula One.
The upcoming film is shaping up to have an action film dream team working under the hood, as super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to the project, as is screenwriter Ehren Kruger.
Back in December it was reported that Brad's latest film had sparked a fierce bidding war between a range of film studios and streaming services.
The upcoming film is shaping up to have an action film dream team working under the hood, as super-producer Jerry Bruckheimer is attached to the project, as is screenwriter Ehren Kruger.
Lewis himself is no stranger to Hollywood, having previously made cameos in Cars 2, Cars 3 and Zoolander 2, and in March Apple secured the rights to a documentary about his life and racing career.
