Brad Pitt is on set of the Amazon MGM Studios motorcycle race movie “Isle of Man,” starring Channing Tatum and Eve Hewson, on which cameras have started to roll just as the iconic race is taking place.
Shooting has been underway for roughly a week on the small island nation in the Irish Sea island, where the “Isle of Man” film is being directed by Reid Carolin and produced by Pitt’s Plan B, Tatum and Carolin’s Free Association and Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Jason Keller.
The Isle of Man TT is one of the most famous and deadly races for motorcyclists around the world. The race traces its heritage back to 1907, when road racing was outlawed in England and racers found refuge on the Isle of Man. A single lap of the course is made up of 37.7 miles across the island’s road systems as the bikes tackle country lanes and city streets at speeds up to 200 mph. Since 1903, there have been more than 150 deaths during the race or its practices, including five in 2022.
On Thursday, Pitt mingled with fans at the race’s main grandstand and was photographed next to Italian rider Andrea Majola (pictured above), who is competing. “He lingered for a long time around Majola’s paddock area to fully immerse himself in the atmosphere of the race,” according to a press release issued by Majola’s team.
Besides Tatum and Hewson, the “Isle of Man” cast reportedly comprises Ciarán Hinds, May Calamawy, Ruaridh Mollica and Éanna Hardwicke. Carolin wrote the script with Jason Keller (“Ford v Ferrari”) and Bryan Johnson.
The film is part of a broader deal struck by the producers with Amazon MGM Studios that also includes a behind-the-scenes docuseries titled “The Greatest Race on Earth,” shot during the 2024 Isle of Man TT.
