1. Pan out Brad Pitt being interviewed
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Brad Pitt, actor:
"I don’t know. I don’t know, it’s madness. It’s madness that they even let us into the sport. You know, we embedded ourselves for a year and a half into the racing calendar, into the races themselves. And now here we are, Times Square, like one of the most infamous squares in the world. Why not?"
3. Pitt and Javier Bardem hug
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Brad Pitt, actor – on working with Formula 1 drivers:
"We couldn’t have done it without him. I mean, they really opened their doors, the drivers, the teams, they played a big part in the film, and I just, like, we just wouldn’t be here without him, it’s just really cool. Especially as much as we love them."
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Damson Idris, actor:
"I don’t even know how to explain it, man. I got out of the car and I heard everyone cheering. You know, I saw the billboards, the trailers running. I could see my face. I’m like, did I really do this? Was I really a part of this? This was a labor of love. I got to work with my idols. My family haven’t seen it yet, but I can’t wait for them to see it. I hope I make them proud. And right now I’m just really thankful, really blessed. I’m trying to stay humble though."
6. Pitt shakes reporters hand then waves to crowd
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Tobias Menzies, actor – on Brad Pitt:
" Great, yeah, I really enjoy working with him. Obviously been watching him all my life, and yeah, he’s really a generous actor, hardworking, super smart, and is obviously producing it as well, so I think this has been a real kind of baby of his, and I think he does an amazing job and has brought an amazing film to the screen.
8. George Russell talking to reporter
9. SOUNDBITE (English) George Russell, Formula 1 driver:
"It’s unreal. I mean to be part of this movie, seeing all the work that’s gone on first hand and then seeing the movie for the first time a few weeks ago, I was super happy to see how it came out because it’s a movie about the sport. We love the sport that we compete in and they did an amazing job."
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Kerry Condon, actor:
"I’m thrilled, I’m thrilled to be in New York. I started like my theater career in America here, so it’s really nice to be here. Can’t believe I’m in Times Square with Formula 1 cars. It’s nuts."
11. Brad Pitt talking to reporter
12. SOUNDBITE (English) Lindsey Vonn, Olympic Skier:
"It’s really fun, you know, I’ve been a huge fan of Formula 1 for a long time. There’s a lot of similarities from ski racing to Formula 1, we are adrenaline junkies. Obviously we love to go fast and I wish that I could have been a driver, but I think I did okay in ski racing, but you know I think this film is amazing. The sport is amazing, it deserves all the publicity it’s getting and hopefully this opens doors for the sport to grow even more, even though ‘Drive to Survive’ did a pretty good job, but this movie is something different."
13. Lando Norris taking pictures with guests
14. SOUNDBITE (English) Lando Norris, Formula 1 driver:
"It’s pretty cool, huh? It’s pretty unbelievable to think that Times Square has turned into something for us. Yeah, to celebrate the movie, celebrate our sport a little bit. It’s pretty special."
Reporter: "These people love you. I can hear them back there. How does it feel?"
Norris: "I still find it odd that people scream for me, but it’s amazing that I have people here to support me and cheer me on. I thank them always."
