Culture news ‘It’s Bad’ This Renowned Director Reacts Strongly to the $300 Million Budget for Brad Pitt’s Next Film
After his triumph at the helm of the film Top Gun: Maverick, Joseph Kosinski is tackling another major challenge, namely a film on F1 with Brad Pitt in one of the main roles. Today, the film continues its production process and is already proving to be one of the most expensive projects in cinema history. An observation that concerns the public as well as this director and screenwriter who has worked with Disney and Netflix.
This Brad Pitt film is on track to explode its budget and appear at the top of the spending rankings
Lately, American actor Brad Pitt has been appearing much less in Hollywood productions. After particularly prosperous years during his career, the actor develops his cinematic palette by trying other registersparticularly on the production side as was the case with the Netflix series The Three-Body Problema show that was recently renewed by the American SVOD giant. However, we will soon be able to savor his presence in the casting of one of the most expensive films in the history of cinema. As we mentioned this weekthe actor will be directed by the director of Top Gun: Maverick, Joseph Kosinski, for a film on F1.
Casually, this is quite a challenge for the tandem since the budget allocated to the production of the film has already reached new heights and is well on its way to appearing in the ranking of the most expensive feature films ever made in history. of the 7th art. Delays due to the Hollywood strike, increased costs, training in safety protocols…he reasons for this budget explosion are numerous and, currently, it is estimated that the envelope allocated to production is already around… 300 million dollarsthe 5th most expensive film behind Fast X and its gargantuan budget of $379 million.
This director is really not reassured by the astronomical budget of the next Brad Pitt film
Given such an envelope, the task becomes more complex for the members of the production since the feature film, co-written by the director with Ehren Kruger, would have to collect at least the sum of 600 million dollars at the box office. On the other side of Hollywood, we are already reacting to this explosion in costs and, for some, it is a great source of concern, especially since the world of cinema is increasingly questioning this escalation. monetary. While a user of the social network X (formerly Twitter) pointed out this aberrant budget for a car racing film, a director approved this rather confusing observation.
Ugh this is what’s wrong

In addition to the numerous reactions to the announcement of this ceiling-breaking budget, the director of the series X-Men ’97Beau DeMayo, who also distinguished himself as a screenwriter on this show and on Moon Knight And The Witcheramong others, pointed out that this was indeed a problem. Indeed, it is difficult for the general public to be enthusiastic when an actor in the field appears somewhat alarming. In any case, Brad Pitt and Joseph Kosinski know that they are playing big with this film which will therefore feature an F1 driver coming out of retirement to take a game driver under his wing.
