Nice Port is undergoing an exciting transformation with the realization of classic Formula 1 car races, an aspect that stands out in the images circulating on social media. This Ocean’s prequel, written and directed by Bradley Cooper, aims to capture the intensity of the racing world in a cinematic environment that evokes the 1960s.
The videos show classic race cars tracing a route designed beside the water, as they prepare to capture the essence of competitions from that decade. One of the vehicles, a dark red car with a white stripe, leads the pack, with other classic models closely following, including a car reminiscent of the Brabham style.
The set includes temporary structures for production and safety barriers marking the layout, with retro brands like Martini, BP, and Shell adorning the vehicles, a detail that adds true authenticity to the production.
Shooting Details
The magic moment occurs at a closed curve surrounded by straw, right at the water’s edge, where the vehicles compete to overtake each other. The scenic setup includes elements of the port’s infrastructure, such as the port authority building, which serves as a backdrop for the spectacular racing scenes.
The Ocean’s Prequel
This production tells a story set during the 1962 Monaco Grand Prix, where a robbery is narrated during the race weekend by the parents of Danny Ocean. Bradley Cooper took control of the direction and script after Lee Isaac Chung left the project due to creative disagreements.
With planned locations in Paris, Monaco, and Nice, the film is set to premiere on June 25, 2027. Margot Robbie, who also participates as a producer, has commented that this is a story about the mentors who influenced Danny Ocean’s education.
The film features a cast that includes names like Wagner Moura, Monica Barbaro, Vicky Krieps, George MacKay, and Omar Sy, thus promising a combination of acting talent for a captivating tale.
