Filmed at actual Formula 1® races around the world, the film will deliver authentic racing action combined with equally compelling characters and a powerful story. As an official promotional partner of Apple Original Films and Warner Bros. Pictures, MercedesAMG supported the film crew with F1® team know-how as well as performance vehicles and sports-car models from its current portfolio. Off the racetrack, an SL, a G-class and a GT are featured on screen. The MercedesAMG Official FIA F1® Safety Car and Medical Car were also provided for use in the movie, in action. A global co-promotion campaign in AMG's core markets supporting the movie's release will round off the partnership. Before the screening, Stefanie Volz, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Egypt, welcomed guests with opening remarks, saying: 'We're incredibly proud to be hosting Egypt's first-ever movie premiere at the newly launched ScreenX by Scene Cinema, offering a viewing experience that mirrors the adrenaline and intensity of Formula 1. The F1 film is a tribute to passion, performance, and authenticity—filmed at actual Grand Prix events and brought to life with Mercedes-AMG's performance vehicles and motorsport expertise. I would also like to extend our sincere thanks to Scene Cinemas for introducing this exceptional format to Egypt and Africa for the first time, and to United Motion Pictures for their valued support as the sole theatrical distributor of Warner Bros. in Egypt. The event started with red carpet moments for the VIP guests, along with a special display for the latest Mercedes-AMG GT 63 Coupé at the entrance, followed by a hospitality & cocktail reception in the cinema VIP area. It is worth mentioning that this is the first-ever movie premiere in Egypt to be held in the ScreenX format, delivering an immersive panoramic viewing experience that brought the high-stakes world of Formula 1® to life, across three walls of cinema.

Hot Wheels Unveils F1® THE MOVIE Die-cast Car, Bringing the Big Screen to 1:64 Scale
EL SEGUNDO, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ahead of the global theatrical release of Apple Original Films' F1® The Movie, Hot Wheels® announced today a limited-edition die-cast car inspired by the fictional Apex Grand Prix (APXGP) team, driven by the film's character Sonny Hayes, played by Brad Pitt. The 1:64 scale Formula 1® die-cast will be available for purchase on beginning June 24, prior to the release of the film in theaters on June 27, from Warner Bros. Pictures. The 1:64 scale die-cast channels the high-octane energy and cutting-edge design of the APXGP team's Formula 1 car, bringing movie magic and motorsport realism together in true Hot Wheels fashion. Following last year's multi-year licensing partnership announcement with Formula 1 and two subsequent sold-out collaborative product pre-order launches, this release provides automotive enthusiasts, racing fans, pop culture devotees and movie lovers a way to take a little piece of F1® The Movie home with them. True to the race car driven by the character Sonny Hayes in the film, the Hot Wheels casting and the molded driver's helmet feature an authentic gold and black livery adorned with Hayes' number seven. Customers will also receive three sets of Pirelli tires and a tire storage rack. Additionally, the car will come in a collector's 'Kar Keepers' clamshell case to deliver the ultimate collector experience. 'Our previous Formula 1 product launches were incredibly well received by racing fans and Hot Wheels collectors, and now we can share a piece of the collection with film lovers around the world,' said Roberto Stanichi, executive vice president, Hot Wheels & Global Head of Vehicles and Building Sets at Mattel. 'The APXGP die-cast allows Hot Wheels to connect with a new audience of moviegoers who now have the opportunity to own a 1:64 scale piece of cinematic and racing history.' Set to hit theaters internationally beginning June 25, with a North American release on June 27, the highly anticipated Formula 1 film, directed by Joseph Kosinski, and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Films, Plan B Entertainment, and seven-time F1® world champion Lewis Hamilton's Dawn Apollo Films banner, and made in collaboration with Formula 1®, stars Brad Pitt as 'Sonny Hayes.' Dubbed 'the greatest that never was,' Sonny Hayes 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. 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 in theaters and IMAX® worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures. The 1:64 scale die-cast will be available for $25.00 USD.
