Brad Pitt says that Tom Cruise came out of Ford V Ferrari because “he wouldn’t have guided much”

Brad Pitt is currently at the top with the success at the box office of F1But recently he opened a racing film that almost happened over a decade ago and how Tom Cruise It may have moved away from it because it wouldn’t be enough behind the wheel.

In a recent interview with National, Pitt revealed that he and Cruise were originally aligned to act Ford V Ferrari with Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick, F1) set to direct. That version never happened and the film eventually landed with the director James Mangoldinterpreted Bale Cristiano AND Matt Damon.

But according to Pitt, it was not only the studio policy or the budget battles that killed their version, it was cars.

“Tom and I, for a while, were on Ford V Ferrari with Joe [to direct]. This was about 10 years before the boys who actually did it – and they made it a fantastic film.

“What came is that we both wanted to drive and [Tom] I wanted to play Shelby and wanted to play Ken Miles. And when Tom realized that Carroll Shelby wouldn’t drive much into the film, he didn’t arrive.

“So I’m not sure how it will work [in a potential F1 sequel]But we will try. I would like.”

So, I imagine that if Cruise is not moving march to 150 mph, he is probably not signing.

Pitt is now at the center of the greatest racing film of the year, with F1 Obtaining $ 144 million all over the world in its opening sequel conversations and Apple already making fun of. While it is open on the return, Pitt says that the focus of a follow-up should remain on the co-protagonist Damson Idris’Character, Joshua Pierce.

“I would like to drive again, selfishly speaking. F1 is still in the center. It must be on the character of Joshua Pierce – the character of Damson Idris – and on the rest of the team fighting for a championship.

“Where does Sonny fit? I’m not sure. Sonny is probably out on the jumps of Bonneville, establishing speed records or something. So I’m not yet sure beyond this.”

Kosinski floated an idea of ​​the wild crossover sequel that could finally put Cruise and Pitt together on the screen and behind the wheel, in the same film. His tone is to see Pitt’s Sonny Hayes with Cole’s Cole Tlickle from Days of thunder. The director said:

“Well, right now, it would be a dollo, which was [Cruise’s] Days of Thunder character, we find that he and [Brad Pitt’s] Sonny Hayes has a past.

“They were rivals at some point, perhaps crossed for the routes … I heard of this epic battle of Go-Kart during the interview with a vampire that Brad and Tom had and who wouldn’t pay to see those two go to your head?”

For now, Pitt is simply happy F1 He crossed the strong finish line.

“We were all a little white to see if it would arrive. We are deliciously surprised that everything we had targeted, and then some, materialized.

“At this moment, I am only happy with a punch that something like this can bring people to gather. This is the power of this type of cinema.”
