I suspect another Apple funded film where the directors/actors took the free money and didn't try too hard. It will be bad.

I don't want to jump on the negativity bandwagon, but I agree. Technical prowess does not make a good movie, unfortunately.

To be fair, KOFM and Napolean weren't bad, but they both had clear, visionary directors behind them that would win every argument with the studio. I'm not sure Kosinski is the same, he's more like a new wave Michael Bay (but better) who just wants to make fun blockbusters.

Trailers are always better than the whole movie too, if you can't make a trailer that makes people go "wow" then it's not a great sign...

Getting Driven vibes from the trailer.

Now that was a hilariously awful film.

I will watch it for sure. I'm sure it will be a visual feast given who is directing it and some of the shots in the trailer look amazing... to counter that goodness though I expect a wafer-thin plot and an unhealthy dose of cringe.

I’m sure it’s him doing some of the commentary.

I was always under the impression that Stallone wanted Driven to be F1 based but Bernie saw the script and said don't be silly - or something similar.

A past his best retired driver comes out of retirement to push an upcoming rookie to winning the WDC - in a back marker team that suddenly realises you actually do indeed need to put all 4 wheels on the car.

Of course I'll watch it

I'll watch it. Expectations low.

In fairness he doesn’t look 61..at all.

Alonso is 43 and Pitt can maybe pass himself off as close to that with make up etc.

It is pushing the believability it a little bit though. Not sure why they couldn’t cast someone younger.

I have low expectations for it anyway, regardless of that/his age. I fear it is just going to be really cringeworthy, and isn’t going to be anywhere near as good as Rush was.
