In F1with Brad Pitt And Javier Bardem, inside this Wednesday, June 25, the stars are not alone on the screen. The film directed by Joseph Kosinski (whom we owe Top Gun: Maverick) It is accompanied by a soundtrack signed by Stars.
What to increase the madness of the film, which presents a sport already popularized by the Netflix series Driving to survive.
In addition to the traditional promotion, assured by Brad Pitt, the production of the film has been hugging for almost two months is already extracted from this ambitious soundtrack.
The early launch of the soundtrack may surprise, even weird in traditional cinema. An increasingly adopted strategy in the main Hollywood productions. Movies like Barbie EITHER Top Gun: Maverick Recently he adopted this strategy of presenting the singles before the release of the film, to create madness, generate listening and guaranteeing its virality.
The soundtrack is, therefore, a key tool to reach a young audience. Some film extracts F1 Or their songs already circulate massively on social networks. This virality is added to a more “classic” presence: the BO is now available in the transmission, but also on CD and vinyl, proof that the film is wide, F1 fan but not only.
Pop, rap, country, electro
Seventeen original titles signed by international stars DOT this soundtrack. Therefore, we find Don Toliver (feat. Doja Cat), Ed Sheeran, Pink (from the Blackpink Korean group), Madison Beer or Burna Boy. This mixture of very different scenes artists allows you to explore a wide musical palette: pop, rap, country, electro.
Among these artists, only a few have a direct link with the world of motor races. The Dutch DJ Tiësto, for example, has a story with F1: occurs regularly during the big prizes worldwide. Kosinski even invites him to play his own role in a scene in Las Vegas. For their part, most other artists, such as Ed Sheeran, do not have a particular link with Formula 1. were chosen for their popularity instead of their love for this discipline.
An election assumed by director Joseph Kosinski, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and Lewis Hamilton, the three who wish to translate the magnitude of Formula 1, with their 24 large awards distributed on five continents. “F1 is a world sport. I wanted the film’s soundtrack to reflect this,” Kosinski said. Therefore, it was necessary to call artists “worldwide to give the movie the atmosphere that this sport really has.”
The British pilot has ensured that this opening sits everywhere, both on the screen and in music. Kosinski highlights the importance of this vision: “Here in Hollywood, we sometimes tend to lack cultural vision. And this sport is a source of inspiration for me to see its eclecticism.”
Hans Zimmer, in the heart of the partition
In addition to the pop stars summoned in this album, the director invited the Oscar Hans Zimmer winner to write the music of the film. Known for your film music (Gladiator, Beginning, InterstellarLKing Lion), he realizes the main orchestral part of the film. I had already worked with Joseph Kosinski in Top Gun: Maverick. It is no stranger to automotive films as it composed the music of the movie of F1 Rush (2013), focused on hunt-lauda rivalry.
Aided by Lewis Hamilton, the composer immersed himself in this environment to capture “danger and, yet the incredible elegance” of these individual seats (as he described in a promotional video). One of his songs was even sampled in the first single in the film, My mind Losse Don Toliver and Doja Cat, creating a bridge between the music of the orchestra and pop. With Zimmer in the controls, the instrumental part of F1promises to be great.
