AMAZON MGM STUDIOS PICKS UP BRAD PITT AND CHANNING TATUM’S TT FILM AND DOCUSERIES, PRODUCED BY MEDIAWAN
Hollywood spotlight falls on the Isle of Man TT as Amazon MGM Studios picks up film and docuseries package produced by major film talent and partners to tell the story of the world’s greatest road race.
The legendary Isle of Man TT is set to hit the global stage like never before, with Amazon MGM Studios picking up a film and docuseries package centred on the world-famous motorcycle event. The projects are being brought to life by an elite team of producers, including Hollywood’s Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum, with Channing Tatum also attached to star in the upcoming film.
The feature film is being produced by Channing Tatum and Reid Carolin’s Free Association, Brad Pitt’s Plan B, and Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Jason Keller. It will be directed by Reid Carolin (Dog), from a script written also by Reid Carolin in collaboration with Jason Keller (Ford v Ferrari) and Bryan Johnson.
The companion docuseries - a 4x45-minute cinematic and character-driven exploration of the TT - was filmed during the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races. With exclusive access to riders and the inner workings of the event, the production captures never-before-seen perspectives of the TT’s human drama and raw intensity.
Produced by the same team behind the film, the docuseries also brings in the storytelling expertise of Box to Box Films - the studio behind acclaimed titles such as Drive to Survive, Full Swing, and Tour de France: Unchained - alongside leading European studio Mediawan, with the participation of Entourage Ventures.
More than just a motorsport documentary, through intimate moments, the series explores what drives competitors to take such risks. The series captures the drive to take risks, the consequences of that commitment, and the emotional weight it places on those around them. The result is an immersive and intimate portrayal of what it truly means to race the TT.
As the world’s oldest continuous motorsport event, the Isle of Man TT has no equal. Long before Formula 1, World Endurance or MotoGP, there was the TT - a test of courage, speed, and skill where competitors race on closed public roads at nearly 200mph.
Historically experienced only by those who travelled to the Isle of Man or listened via radio, the TT entered a new era with the launch of TT+ in 2022 - a dedicated live-streaming platform offering full coverage of every qualifying session and race. This digital broadcast revolution, combined with an expanded social media strategy, has seen interest in the event soar, with online searches doubling in just two years.
Now, with the global release of the docuseries and feature film on the horizon, the TT is set to reach a new level of global awareness.
Paul Phillips, Head of Motorsport, Isle of Man Department for Enterprise, said: “The impact this is going to make on the TT cannot be overstated. We’re putting the event on a truly global stage and entering the next phase of our Digital Broadcast Strategy. It’s a testament to the sport and the unique nature of the TT that we’re working alongside these world-class partners.”
