Simone Ashley Cut from 'F1' Movie with Brad Pitt, Director Reveals the Reason Behind It 'F1' Director Reveals the Reason for Cutting Simone Ashley's Scene (credit: instagram.com/simonashley/f1movie)

Kapanlagi.com - Actress BRIDGERTON, Simone Ashley, was initially announced as part of the cast in the film F1, a Formula One racing drama starring Brad Pitt. However, recently, director Joseph Kosinski revealed that most of Ashley's role was ultimately cut from the final version of the film. He stated that the decision was made due to the reduction of subplots that did not fit into the main storyline.

In an interview with People, Kosinski explained that the editing process required them to trim two to three supporting stories, including those involving Ashley's character. Nevertheless, the director of TOP GUN: MAVERICK praised Ashley's talent and hopes to collaborate again in the future. In the final version of the film, Ashley only appears briefly without dialogue.

Simone Ashley herself has not made an official statement regarding the trimming of her role. However, in a previous interview with Elle, she described the experience of filming as something 'crazy' and remains grateful to have been part of such a large-scale project like F1. The film is set to be released in theaters on June 27.

1. The 'F1' Film Presents Brad Pitt's Action in the Racing World

The F1 film is one of Hollywood's ambitious projects this year. Directed by Joseph Kosinski and written by Ehren Kruger, the film tells the story of Sonny Hayes (Brad Pitt), a legendary Formula One driver who returns to the track after a fatal accident and is forced to retire. He then mentors a talented young driver, Joshua "Noah" Pearce, played by Damson Idris.

In addition to Brad Pitt and Idris, the film also stars Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, and Kim Bodnia. Interestingly, several real Formula 1 drivers are also reported to make cameo appearances, making the film even more authentic for racing fans.

2. Simone Ashley Remains Proud Despite Her Role Being Cut

Although her role was trimmed from the film F1, Simone Ashley still demonstrates a professional attitude. In her interview with Elle, the English actress stated that she is grateful to be part of the film, even if she only appears in a small portion. She also revealed that filming this movie took her to various Grand Prix events and provided an incredible experience.

Ashley described the experience as something that she 'will not experience again' and feels fortunate to be in such a large production environment. Even though she did not have a full appearance, her involvement remains a part of her rising career journey after the success of the series BRIDGERTON.
