Distributor announced for TT film and docuseries produced by Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum

Department for Enterprise says Amazon MGM Studios has picked up the package

Further details have emerged about a new film and docuseries centred around the Isle of Man TT Races.

The Department for Enterprise says Amazon MGM Studios has picked up a package which includes a film produced by Hollywood actors Channing Tatum and Brad Pitt.

Channing, who visited the TT in 2023, is set to star in the film, which was announced last year.

The DfE says it 'represents a significant milestone in the delivery of the Isle of Man TT Races’ Digital Broadcast Strategy, aimed at increasing the TT’s digital audience, to ensure the long-term sustainability of the event, and ensuring the wider economic and reputational opportunities for the Isle of Man.'

The feature film is to be 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's set to 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.

Meanwhile, the docuseries, produced by the same team behind the film, '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'.

Enterprise Minister Tim Johnston says: "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."

Sarah Maltby, Political Member with Responsibility for Motorsport, added: "This is great news for the event and our Island, and we welcome the announcement having worked closely with all partners involved to make this a reality.

"Our Island is extremely proud of the TT - it is firmly part of our heritage and culture, and every year we welcome thousands of visitors attend the event from across the globe.

"This film and docuseries package will provide the opportunity to share this unique story- and our small but mighty Island - with the world, and we have found an incredible group of world-class partners to help us do this. We are excited as to what the future holds."
