'F1: The Movie' drops its final trailer before release
The final trailer for the upcoming Formula 1-based film F1: The Movie has officially been released, giving fans their most detailed look yet at the story and high-octane visuals ahead of its theatrical debut next month.
Brad Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a retired F1 driver making a comeback, paired with a young and ambitious rookie, Joshua Pearce, played by Damson Idris.
The film's production captured real-world racing action by filming during multiple races in the 2023 and 2024 Formula 1 seasons, seamlessly integrating fictional APX GP cars into actual footage.
Real-life tracks like Silverstone, Monza, and Yas Marina appear in the movie, alongside recognizable race incidents like the first-lap crash that took Sergio Perez out of the 2023 Mexican Grand Prix.
The Las Vegas Grand Prix plays a significant role in the trailer, with a major crash on the start-finish straight and scenes of Pitt's character jogging through the city.
Additional filming was done at the McLaren Technology Centre, where Idris's character trains lakeside and the fictional team's logo 'APX' can be seen.
A press conference scene was also shot at this location.
The film's cast includes Javier Bardem as APX GP team principal Ruben Cervantes, Kerry Condon as technical director Kate McKenna, and also features Tobias Menzies and Kim Bodnia.
The movie will hit international cinemas starting June 25, followed by a North American release on June 27.

Theatrical production breaks convention
The cast of the '4.48 Psychosis' play thanks the audience after delivering a powerful performance which broke theatrical norms through emotionally charged, physically intense portrayals that collapsed the space between audience and actor at The Black Hole in the federal capital. PHOTO: EXPRESS Islamabad-based theatre collective Qissa Khwani Theatrics has staged Pakistan's first and only translation and performance of 4.48 Psychosis — the final, most harrowing work by British playwright Sarah Kane, widely interpreted as her theatrical suicide note. Written shortly before her death in 1999, the play confronts the audience with unfiltered expressions of despair, psychosis and identity collapse. The production is directed by Ahmad Umar Ayaz, who holds a master's degree in modern Drama from the University of Edinburgh and is produced by Abdul Basit Mushtaq and Sundas Tanveer. The staging immerses the viewer in Kane's broken and poetic world — a space where logic dissolves and suffering takes centre stage. Inspired by Antonin Artaud's Theatre of Cruelty, the play does not seek catharsis or comfort - it demands confrontation, provocation and an unflinching encounter with pain. Starring Muhammad Arslan and Saim Raza, both trained at NAPA, the performance breaks theatrical norms with emotionally charged, physically intense portrayals that collapse the space between audience and actor. There is no safety, no detachment. Language cuts. Silence suffocates. Performed at The Black Hole in Islamabad, the venue is transformed into a psychological environment where the boundaries of theatre are ruptured. No stage. No curtain. No barrier. Just raw human presence and the unbearable weight of being. Qissa Khwani Theatrics is a bold, independent collective working to revive and redefine theatre in Pakistan, where the cultural infrastructure for experimental or political theatre is nearly non-existent. In an environment where mainstream entertainment dominates and public arts spaces are few, the group has made it its mission to build space for critical, courageous storytelling — using theatre as a medium to provoke thought, resistance and collective reflection. With this landmark production, they bring Sarah Kane's voice to Pakistan for the first time - unfiltered, unsoftened and impossible to ignore.

Max Verstappen confirms he's racing with Red Bull in 2026
Max Verstappen has put an end to speculation about his Formula 1 future, confirming he will stay with Red Bull for the 2026 season. The reigning four-time world champion, who has been under contract with the team until 2028, addressed ongoing rumours about potential moves to Mercedes and other teams during the Hungarian Grand Prix. "I've never really said anything about it because I was just focused on talking to the team about how we can improve our performance, future ideas for next year as well. And that's why I have nothing really to add ever," Verstappen said. "But yeah, it's time to stop all the rumours. For me, it's always been quite clear that I was staying anyway." Verstappen's statement clarifies that the uncertainty surrounding his future had been overstated. The Dutch driver explained that the Red Bull team was always confident in his commitment, as discussions regarding car improvements and future plans continued throughout the season. While this confirmation eliminates any further speculation about Verstappen's move, it also impacts the dynamics at Mercedes. With Verstappen staying at Red Bull, drivers George Russell and Kimi Antonelli at Mercedes are expected to remain in place for the upcoming season. Russell, who had anticipated Verstappen's decision, expressed that he is "not in a hurry" to sign a new contract with Mercedes but highlighted the importance of a solid agreement with the team. "Whenever we come to an agreement we will get it done but it has to work for both of us," Russell explained. He noted the unique situation at Mercedes, with his management also overseeing his contract, adding complexity to the negotiation process. Russell emphasised his confidence in the team's support, despite the ongoing uncertainties, and expressed a desire to take the upcoming summer break to reflect on his position before making any further decisions regarding his contract. As Verstappen continues his journey with Red Bull, the Hungarian Grand Prix will serve as another stage in his battle for a fifth world championship, with rival teams eyeing the strategic shifts that could shape the rest of the season.

Moving image exhibit opens at PNCA
"Seeing, Seen" a landmark exhibition exploring the moving image as a medium of resistance, memory, and reimagination, opened at the Pakistan National Council of the Arts (PNCA) on Wednesday evening. Inaugurated by Federal Minister for National Heritage and Culture, Aurangzeb Khan Khichi, the opening ceremony included remarks by Muhammad Ayoub Jamali and curator Sarah Rajper, followed by an engaging artist panel discussion. Supported by the British Council and organised by LUX and Art South Asia Project, the exhibition presents innovative works by artists from Pakistan and the UK, exploring themes of language, identity, history and perception through video, film and animation. In his address, Khichi praised the initiative, stating, "This wonderful exhibition, connecting Pakistani and UK-based artists, is a powerful example of cultural collaborationone that not only reflects our shared human experience but also strengthens the global standing of Pakistan's creative community." In her address, curator Sarah Rajper emphasised the significance of fostering support for new media and experimental forms in the region: "Moving image is still vastly under-supported in Pakistan despite its immense potential to reflect and reshape our realities. With "Seeing, Seen" we're not just showcasing art, we're building infrastructure for dialogue, risk-taking, and critical inquiry. It's a call to invest in the future of storytelling." The artist panel featured Kaiser Irfan, Mahnoor Ali Shah, M4HK, Ujala Khan and Rajper, who reflected on their practices and the role of moving image in Pakistan's cultural landscape. The exhibition features a wide range of mediums including video, animation, film, lenticular print, mixed media painting and stop-motion, as well as art from the British Council Collection. Participating artists include Abdul Haadi, Farida Batool, Kaiser Irfan, Mahnoor Ali Shah, M4HK, Rabeeha Adnan, Ujala Khan and UK-based duo John Wood and Paul Harrison. Highlights include Kaiser Irfan's "Language of the Birds", a meditative video exploring asemic writing and myth, Mahnoor Ali Shah's "Memory Flashbacks", which reflects on neurodivergence and memory, Farida Batool's lenticular works on trauma and perception and Rabeeha Adnan's "Field Reset", which uses glitchy VHS textures to explore desire and dissonance.
