New F1 movie trailer showcases Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi takes centre stage in the newly-released trailer for Apple Original Films' movie F1, starring Brad Pitt.

With 29 days of filming in the UAE, F1 showcases some of Abu Dhabi’s most iconic locations, including Zayed International Airport, Yas Creative Hub and Yas Marina Circuit. The project was one of 170 major productions backed by Abu Dhabi Film Commission since 2013 and employed a 284-member local crew and 15 UAE-based interns.

Support for the production aligns with the UAE’s Vision 2021 initiative which focuses on boosting the country's global profile.
