Isle of Man TT: Tatum’s Free Association, Brad Pitt’s Plan B  Team for Docuseries, Feature Film

Tatum’s Free Association, Brad Pitt’s Plan B  Team for Docuseries, Feature Film on Isle of Man TT

Screenwriter Jason Keller, Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Box to Box Films are behind the most dangerous motorcycle race on the planet.

Tatum’s Free Association, Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment, screenwriter Jason Keller, Entertainment 360’s Guymon Casady and Box to Box Films are behind the ventures, which are looking to capture the growing global interest in a wide swath of the sports world worldwide. It also comes as more streamers, media companies and nations pour money into sports at the highest corporate levels.

Isle of Man TT began in 1907 on the island nation that sits between Ireland and the UK, and minus two world wars, has run almost continuously since. A single lap of the course is made up of 37.7 miles across the island’s public road systems as the bikes tackle country lanes and city streets at speeds up to 200mph, according to the producers.

The docuseries began production this week. Titled The Greatest Race On Earth, it will focus on the Isle of Man TT race, which some have called one of the most dangerous competitions on the planet and is being held in June this year. Box to Box Films, behind racing doc shows Drive to Survive and Tour de France: Unchained, is producing along with Plan B, Free Association, Entertainment 360 and Keller.

That same group will also develop a feature film later this year. It is unclear whether Keller, who co-wrote the script for the Oscar-nominated 2019 racing movie Ford v Ferrari, will pen the script for the Isle of Man project.

“We dare anyone to find more awe-inspiring people, or a more breathtakingly vibrant world than The Isle of Man TT,” said Free Association principles Tatum, Reid Carolin and Peter Kiernan in a statement. “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.”

Pitt stars in the movie, and he and Plan B are producers on it. Free Association has Blink Twice, Zoe Kravitz’s directorial debut, hitting theaters Aug. 23 from Amazon MGM. Casady was most recently a producer on the well-regarded and well-reviewed romantic adventure movie The Fall Guy.
