However, earlier this year, filming and production were put on hold due to the lengthy Hollywood writer’s strike, which has since been resolved.
According to the Sun tabloid, a dispute over sponsorships forced producers to remove tens of millions of pounds’ worth of footage shot at the Formula One tracks in 2023.
The article stated that since they have resumed production on it, the sponsorships have all changed and they are unable to use many of the scenes they had previously shot.
It really is a nightmare for Brad and the crew, the insider told the publication, adding that Apple Studios are not at all satisfied with the scenario.
Now that all the sponsors have changed, the video is no longer valid.
Nevertheless, Formula 1 has refuted rumours that the film “Apex,” which is still in development, is in trouble.
The film will still release in 2025 as planned, a Formula One Management representative insisted to the Metro newspaper.
Every video that was shot this year is pertinent. Using material shot in 2024, the film will guarantee continuity with the F1 season of 2023. They also stated that all movie sponsors remain unchanged and have committed to the film through to its completion.
The production has long since intended to film into 2024, although it was making adjustments to its timetable both before and during the strike.
Speaking in Las Vegas, Lewis Hamilton, who is also engaged in the film through his own production firm, concurred that the film still had the go-ahead.
Naturally, this means that we can carry on working with the writers. Brad and (fellow actor) Damson (Idris) will now be returning to training and preparing to get back in the vehicle.
The seven-time world champion said that one of the extremely cool moments that were supposed to be filmed this weekend in Las Vegas was cancelled and would now take place in 2024.
Hamilton continued, “We already have fantastic film with the demo drivers, who did an amazing job as all the drivers got to see in Austin. Yes, we will continue to go forward.
Even though it might cost a little bit more, it will still be fantastic because I have complete faith in Jerry Bruckheimer’s ability to produce.
