Amazon MGM Studios will produce a major film and docuseries package centred on the TT.
The feature film will be produced by Hollywood stars Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt, with Tatum also set to star.
The project is being developed by Tatum and Reid Carolin’s Free Association, Pitt’s Plan B, and Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Jason Keller.
Directed by Reid Carolin (Dog), the script is co-written by Carolin, Jason Keller (Ford v Ferrari), and Bryan Johnson.
The companion docuseries – a 4×45-minute cinematic and character-driven exploration of the TT – was filmed during the 2024 Isle of Man TT Races.
Tim Johnston, Minister for Enterprise, said: “Through the Isle of Man TT Races Broadcast Strategy and the introduction of live coverage on TT+, we’ve already seen significant growth in digital audience numbers, and this docuseries and film will further offer the chance to remove geographical barriers and showcase the TT to a truly global audience.
“This level of visibility will bring wider benefits for the Isle of Man, including additional investment as well as ensuring the long-term sustainability of the event itself – aligning with both our Department Plan and the Island Plan.
“The Department has been working closely behind the scenes with all partners involved in the project since their visit to TT 2023, and we are proud to see this work now coming to fruition with this exciting news.”
The announcement follows extensive discussions since the production teams visited TT 2023.
