Brad Pitt on the reason why Tom Cruise left “Ford against Ferrari”
In a frank interview with The NationalBrad Pitt confirmed that he and Cruise had watched the main roles in “Ford against Ferrari” under the director James Mangold, not Joseph Kosinski, long before the film ended up the screens in 2019.
“Tom and I, for a while, were on ‘Ford against Ferrari’ with Joe [to direct]. It was about 10 years before the guys who did it – and made it an excellent film, “he recalls.

Pitt talks about the success of his film
Meanwhile, Brad Pitt continues to take advantage of the success of his film. He said at the point of sale that he always wanted to make a unique blockbuster and never imagined that “F1: the film” would be this film.
