The project will see Pitt, according to the project's synopsis, "as a former driver who returns to the sport. Damson Idris joins as his teammate." Apple is currently working with Pitt and Plan B Entertainment on a Jon Watts-directed film that stars Pitt and George Clooney.

Idris leads the popular FX series Snowfall, a role that has earned him two NAACP Image Award nominations. His other works include episodes of Black Mirror and The Twilight Zone, as well as Netflix's sci-fi action film Outside the Wire.
