In 2020, filmmaker Joseph Kosinski revealed a planned Ford vs. Ferrari film starring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt that ultimately did not materialize. Pitt explained that their drive for actual driving roles conflicted, as he wanted to portray Ken Miles while Cruise wished to play Carroll Shelby. The current film, Ford v Ferrari, is set in a later timeframe. Pitt also highlighted that their new film, F1, allowed both actors to engage in driving training under expert guidance from Lewis Hamilton, making it a more active and immersive experience.
Joseph Kosinski planned a Ford vs. Ferrari film featuring Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt, but it never happened due to Cruise's lack of driving role as Carroll Shelby.
Pitt stated the unmade film would have taken place 10 years earlier than the existing Ford v Ferrari movie and praised that version as a great film.
The new film F1, featuring Brad Pitt, allowed the actors to drive, with Lewis Hamilton teaching Pitt about racing techniques.
The desire for both Cruise and Pitt to drive their characters led to the project’s halt, as Cruise preferred to play a more active driving role.
