The next Formula 1 (F1) film from Lewis Hamilton, rumored to be titled ‘Apex’, is set to have one of the biggest budgets in the history of the film industry. The 39-year-old racing champion will star in the film, with Apple leading the production. Filming for the movie is underway at various race locations, with sources estimating the film’s cost.
The production company behind the film, ‘Dawn Apollo Films’, is creating an F1 film with a star-studded cast aimed at attracting new audiences. Notable figures from the film crew, including Brad Pitt and Lewis Hamilton, have already visited the F1 grid for filming purposes. In one scene, Pitt and Hamilton even raced on the Silverstone GP track in modified F2 cars.
Reportedly, the film is expected to have an impressive budget of $300 million. While this puts it just outside the top 10 most expensive films ever made, the high cost can be attributed to the use of real Formula 1 cars and filming at authentic race locations. The film’s production has faced significant delays due to the Hollywood Actors’ Union Strike, and a final release date has not yet been announced as the team rushes to complete the film.
For Hamilton, producing this film has been a long-time dream. Both he and Apple will face substantial losses if the film does not meet expectations. The 39-year-old champion has shown great ambition with this project, especially by involving Brad Pitt. Therefore, the film will need to generate impressive numbers at the box office to recoup its budget. Typically, a film needs to earn more than double its budget to avoid financial losses.
ブレークイーブンするために、ルイス・ハミルトンの映画は少なくとも7億5000万ドルから9億ドルを稼ぐ必要があります。主要企業の関与と有望な映像のおかげで、この映画は成功すると予想されています。ハミルトンの野心的な目標により、F1ドライバーのハードルが上がりました。現在のF1ファンの間では、この映画の公開に対する期待が高まっています。もし映画が大成功を収めれば、Netflixの「ドライブ・トゥ・サヴァイブ」ドキュメンタリーシリーズのように、スポーツに重大な影響を与えるかもしれません。そのため、F1コミュニティ全体がこの大いに期待される映画のプレミアを熱望しています。
