Keanu Reeves has thrillingly embarked on the Formula 1 (F1) racing scene with a groundbreaking new docuseries, while Brad Pitt has conquered the cinematic box office with 'F1: The Movie,' racing across the checkered flag of success. The charismatic star of 'John Wick' is set to take the helm of an upcoming documentary series in a dual role as both producer and host. This captivating venture will shine a spotlight on the Cadillac racing team as they gear up for their historic debut in Formula 1, the pinnacle of international auto racing that features lightning-fast, open-wheel vehicles.
"I am deeply honored and exhilarated to be part of narrating the epic tale of the Cadillac Formula 1 Team and their incredible voyage into the exhilarating world of F1 racing," the 60-year-old actor enthusiastically revealed to Formula1.com on July 2nd, Wednesday. He further elaborated, "Our aspiration with this docuseries is to transport viewers to the very core of this adventure, revealing the intricacies and dedication required to compete in one of the most exclusive athletic arenas on Earth."
Allegedly, the iconic 'Matrix' star will provide viewers with an exclusive, behind-the-scenes glimpse into Cadillac’s monumental journey of assembling their Formula 1 team, offering a rare peek into the making of a new F1 operation. This highly anticipated, as-yet-untitled series is poised for release prior to Cadillac’s maiden official race, slated for next March at the prestigious Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne.
As a genuine motorsport enthusiast in real life, Reeves is now racing onto the reel-life track, following in the footsteps of Pitt, who produced and starred in the critically acclaimed sports drama 'F1.' Despite its $300 million budget, the film has already amassed an impressive $161.9 million in its opening weekend.
