Get ready for an exhilarating cinematic experience as the regional premiere of the F1 movie unfolds in Abu Dhabi this June. Scheduled for June 25, this much-anticipated event will showcase the high-octane drama starring Brad Pitt, making the UAE capital the focal point of Formula 1 excitement ahead of the movie’s global release.
The UAE will warmly welcome this summer’s adrenaline-fueled spectacle, directed by Joseph Kosinski, featuring a stellar cast that includes Brad Pitt and Javier Bardem. The film’s production benefited from the participation of 284 local crew members along with 15 aspiring trainees. This collaboration was made possible through a partnership between the Abu Dhabi Creative Media Authority, the Abu Dhabi Film Commission, and Apple Studios, all committed to bringing this cinematic gem to life in Abu Dhabi.
Incentive
The F1 movie is the latest addition to a growing list of acclaimed blockbusters filmed in Abu Dhabi. Over the past decade, the UAE capital has become a prime destination for filmmakers, thanks in part to its innovative rebate scheme that was recently enhanced to a substantial 50 percent as of January 1 this year. This incentive has solidified Abu Dhabi’s position as an attractive locale for major film productions.
Landmark Achievements
Viewers will undoubtedly catch a glimpse of the iconic Yas Marina Circuit, as well as various recognizable landmarks throughout the film. This collaboration highlights the cinematic allure of Abu Dhabi and its potential for future productions.
Interestingly, last December, the buzz around Brad Pitt intensified when he was spotted during the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Fans and onlookers alike speculated his involvement, some even feeling the excitement from afar as they reminisced about iconic films like Moneyball.
