Channing Tatum & Brad Pitt prodcos partner for Isle of Man TT docuseries & feature
Channing Tatum’s Free Association, Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, Jason Keller, Entertainment 360 and Box To Box Films are partnering for both a docuseries and feature film centered on the famed Isle of Man Tourist Trophy (TT) motorcycle races.
They will take these projects out as a package later this year. Mediawan, the majority stakeholder of Plan B, will serve as the studio of the docuseries and handle international sales.
Production on the docuseries, The Greatest Race On Earth, has commenced this week and will center on the Isle of Man TT races held in June of this year. Box To Box Films will produce along with Plan B, Free Association, Entertainment 360, and Jason Keller.
To follow the docuseries, the group is currently developing a screenplay for a feature film package to take to market later this year. Producers for the film include Free Association, Plan B, Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady, Jason Keller and with Box to Box executive producing.
The Isle of Man TT is the holy grail for motorcycle enthusiasts. Taking place on a small island nation in the Irish Sea, the race traces its heritage back to the early 1900s when road racing was outlawed in England, and racers found refuge on the Isle of Man.
A single lap of the course is made up of 37.7 miles across the island’s road systems as the bikes tackle country lanes and city streets at speeds up to 200mph.
“We dare anyone to find more awe-inspiring people, or a more breathtakingly vibrant world than The Isle of Man TT. We’ve always been drawn to characters who push the edge of what’s possible, and this race is their Shangri-La.
“We’re deeply honored to be part of the creative dream team telling the story of this legendary event, and can’t wait to finally share this mythical sport we love with audiences all across the globe,” said Free Association principles Channing Tatum, Reid Carolin, and Peter Kiernan.
