Apple Films has landed an out-of-this-world new project – a UFO disclosure movie that reteams “F1” director Joseph Kosinski with producer Jerry Bruckheimer, working from a script by Zach Baylin.
According to the official release, the thriller “will explore disclosure around UAPs (formerly known as UFOs).” The currently untitled film will be produced by Bruckheimer and Chad Oman for Jerry Bruckheimer Films and Kosinski for Monolith. David Grusch will serve as a consultant and associate producer.
“F1,” from Kosinski and Bruckheimer, will debut in theaters this summer, thanks to a distribution deal with Warner Bros., before landing on Apple TV+ at a later date. The film stars Brad Pitt as a racecar driver who takes a hotshot young protégé under his wing (Damson Idris). The film also stars Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies and Javier Bardem and reunites much of the team behind Kosinski’s blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick,” including screenwriter Ehren Kruger, composer Hans Zimmer and cinematographer Claudio Miranda.
It will hit theaters on June 27, 2025 from Kosinski’s Monolith, Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton’s Dawn Apollo Films banner. “F1” was made in collaboration with Formula 1.
Apple Films’ other recent projects include “The Gorge,” from director Scott Derrickson, and the upcoming “Fountain of Youth,” directed by Guy Ritchie and starring Natalie Portman and John Krasinski.
Besides “Tom Gun: Maverick” and “F1,” Kosinski’s credits include Netflix’s “Spiderhead,” “Only the Brave” and Disney’s “Tron: Legacy.”
