‘F1’ Movie Starring Brad Pitt Is Latest Hollywood Production Partly Shot in Abu Dhabi
Apple's ‘F1’ movie starring Brad Pitt is the latest Hollywood production partly shot in Abu Dhabi where cameras rolled during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
The “F1” movie, directed by Joseph Kosinski and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, follows Pitt as former Formula 1 driver Sonny Hayes, who returns to the sport and partners with and mentors rookie teammate Joshua Pearce (Idris) on the fictional APXGP team. “Our collective efforts and wise leadership continue to ensure that we secure such exciting partnerships with leading production teams like Apple Original Films,” said Mohamed Dobay, acting director general of Abu Dhabi’s Creative Media Authority in a statement. Abu Dhabi has been stepping up efforts to lure more film and TV shoots to the United Arab Emirates’ capital by enhancing its new rebate, which is now set to reach up to 50% of qualified below-the-line spend starting in January.
