#FIRSTLOOK: NEW TRAILER FOR “HIM”

What would you sacrifice to become the greatest of all time? From Oscar® winner Jordan Peele and Monkeypaw Productions, producers of the landmark horror films Get Out, Us, Candyman and Nope, comes a chilling journey into the inner sanctum of fame, idolatry and the pursuit of excellence at any cost, featuring an electrifying dramatic performance from Marlon Wayans (Air, Respect). HIM stars former college wide-receiver Tyriq Withers (Atlanta, the upcoming I Know What You Did Last Summer) as Cameron Cade, a rising-star quarterback who has devoted his life, and identity, to football. On the eve of professional football’s annual scouting Combine, Cam is attacked by an unhinged fan and suffers a potentially career-ending brain trauma. Just when all seems lost, Cam receives a lifeline when his hero, Isaiah White (Marlon Wayans), a legendary eight-time Championship quarterback and cultural megastar, offers to train Cam at Isaiah’s isolated compound that he shares with his celebrity influencer wife, Elsie White (Julia Fox; Uncut Gems, No Sudden Move). But as Cam’s training accelerates, Isaiah’s charisma begins to curdle into something darker, sending his protégé down a disorienting rabbit hole that may cost him more than he ever bargained for.

The film features a dynamic supporting cast including alternative comedy legend Tim Heidecker (First Time Female Director, Us) and Australian comic Jim Jefferies (The Jim Jefferies Show), plus MMA heavyweight fighter Maurice Greene and hip hop phenoms Guapdad 4000 and Grammy nominee Tierra Whack, all three in their feature film debuts. HIM is directed by Justin Tipping (Kicks) from an acclaimed Black List screenplay by Zack Akers & Skip Bronkie (creators of the sci-fi crime series Limetown) and by Justin Tipping.

The film is produced by Ian Cooper (Nope, Us), Jordan Peele (Candyman, BlacKkKlansman), Win Rosenfeld (Candyman, Lovecraft Country) and Jamal M. Watson (Hala, Sprinter) for Monkeypaw Productions and is executive produced by David Kern and Monkeypaw’s Kate Oh.

#FIRSTLOOK: “F1 THE MOVIE” RETURNING TO THEATRES IN IMAX

Apple Original Films’ action-packed, captivating thrill ride “F1® The Movie,” the biggest original box office blockbuster of 2025, is racing back to the biggest screens. Distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures and following its debut as the #1 movie at the global box office, “F1® The Movie” will be re-released in IMAX by popular audience demand. Tickets are on-sale now for select theatres and showtimes beginning Friday, August 8, 2025, with plans to expand further into IMAX locations and large formats worldwide Friday, August 15.

Filmed for IMAX and featuring an unparalleled cinematic experience, “F1® The Movie” is the highest grossing original feature of the year, and recently crossed over $552 million at the global box office, making it Brad Pitt’s highest grossing feature to date. The film boasts an A CinemaScore, along with a soaring 97% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, and continues to fuel wide acclaim as the most authentic racing feature ever made. Presented entirely in IMAX-exclusive expanded aspect ratio, “F1® The Movie” is also the highest grossing Hollywood film of the year in IMAX with $85 million and counting in global box office. “F1® The Movie” vastly outperformed in IMAX, with IMAX screens accounting for 23% of the film’s North American opening weekend and over 19% of its global debut.

“Audiences around the world have embraced ‘F1® The Movie’ as an adrenaline-pumping, big screen experience, and its re-release in IMAX is a testament to the global popularity of the film,” said Matt Dentler, head of features, Apple Original Films. “Joe, Jerry, Brad, Lewis and the visionary team behind ‘F1® The Movie’ have delivered a summer blockbuster that blends heart with action, and we can’t wait to give moviegoers another chance to see it in IMAX.”

Jeff Goldstein, President, Warner Bros. Pictures Global Distribution stated, “With ‘F1® The Movie,’ audiences around the world headed to theatres in droves to witness FORMULA 1 racing like never before, and it showed at the box office. So, together with our partners at Apple Original Films and IMAX, we jumped at the opportunity to give fans another go-round—or to experience it for the first time—via IMAX’s premiere screens and sound, before summer is over.”

“Every element of ‘F1® The Movie’ — the visuals, the sound, the gripping storytelling anchored by larger-than-life performances — makes excellent use of the IMAX Experience, and it’s no wonder it’s our highest grossing Hollywood film of the year,” said Rich Gelfond, CEO of IMAX. “We know ‘F1® The Movie’ still has plenty of gas in the tank and audiences will come back again to experience it as intended in IMAX.”

Beyond the box office, “F1® The Movie” has ignited a global music phenomenon with F1® The Album, the star-studded, high-octane soundtrack that has surged past 600,000 albums sold worldwide and is nearing 1 billion global streams. Currently dominating Billboard’s Top Movie Songs chart with seven of the top ten tracks, the album is powered by Tate McRae’s two-time VMA-nominated smash hit “Just Keep Watching.” With over 4 billion views across short-form video platforms, F1® The Album has become a defining music moment of 2025 and a vital part of the film’s cultural impact.

From Apple Original Films and the filmmakers from “Top Gun: Maverick” comes the high-octane feature film “F1® The Movie,” starring Brad Pitt and directed by Joseph Kosinski. The film is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, Kosinski, seven-time FORMULA 1® world champion Lewis Hamilton, Pitt, Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner and Chad Oman.

Dubbed “the greatest that never was,” Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt) was FORMULA 1’s most promising phenom of the 1990s until an accident on the track nearly ended his career. Thirty years later, he’s a nomadic racer-for-hire when he’s approached by his former teammate Ruben Cervantes (Javier Bardem), owner of a struggling FORMULA 1 team that is on the verge of collapse. Ruben convinces Sonny to come back to FORMULA 1 for one last shot at saving the team and being the best in the world. He’ll drive alongside Joshua Pearce (Damson Idris), the team’s hotshot rookie intent on setting his own pace. But as the engines roar, Sonny’s past catches up with him and he finds that in FORMULA 1, your teammate is your fiercest competition—and the road to redemption is not something you can travel alone.

“F1® The Movie” also stars Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem, and was shot during actual Grand Prix weekends as the team competed against the titans of the sport.

Kosinski directs from a screenplay by Ehren Kruger, story by Kosinski & Kruger. The film is executive produced by Daniel Lupi. Collaborating with Kosinski behind the scenes are his creative team, including director of photography Claudio Miranda, production designers Mark Tildesley and Ben Munro, editor Stephen Mirrione, costume designer Julian Day, casting director Lucy Bevan and composer Hans Zimmer.

Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures Present A Monolith Pictures / Jerry Bruckheimer / Plan B Entertainment / Dawn Apollo Films Production, A Joseph Kosinski Film, “F1® The Movie,” distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures.

Partnering with Apple Original Films and the filmmakers, “F1® The Movie” was shot with more than a dozen newly designed IMAX-certified digital cameras strategically positioned to capture the speed, precision, and intensity of racing like never before, including Brad Pitt driving at 180 mph. The film is presented entirely in IMAX’s exclusive 1.90:1 expanded aspect ratio and with a custom sound mix tailored to IMAX’s acoustician-designed sound system, featuring the industry’s largest speakers, laser-aligned for pinpoint audio precision. Director Joseph Kosinski worked closely with IMAX, including reviewing camera tests at IMAX HQ during pre-production, and made specific creative and technical decisions to deliver a movie designed for the IMAX Experience®.
