Pitt and Kosinski have long tried to make a racing movie. In 2013, Pitt wanted to make a movie on the book ‘Go Like Hell,’ which had Kosinski attached along with Tom Cruise. That project eventually transformed into ‘Ford v. Ferrari’ with a new actor and director combination.
Hollywood has always maintained a fascination for cars storming down the tracks. Earlier in 1998, there were reports that the Hollywood legend – Sylvester Stallone – was preparing to enter F1.
