Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter It’s lights out and away we go at CinemaCon, where director Joseph Kosinski and producer Jerry Bruckheimer took the stage at Caesars Palace to talk up the upcoming racing drama “F1,” starring Brad Pitt. “We believe this is going to be the cinematic event of the summer,” Kosinski and Bruckheimer told the room of movie theater owners.

They happen to know a little something about crafting compelling blockbusters, having worked together on 2022’s billion-dollar smash “Top Gun: Maverick” with Tom Cruise. “We filled your theaters all summer long [with ‘Top Gun: Maverick’] to the tune of $1.5 billion.

We’re here to tell you that we’re ready to do it again.” In order to demonstrate their confidence in the big-budget action epic, Kosinski and Bruckheimer unveiled the electrifying first 10 minutes of the film.

In “F1,” Pitt — who didn’t attend CinemaCon — plays a middle-aged Formula One driver who likes to push his cars (and his competitors) to the limit.
