Amazon’s Isle of Man TT movie to begin filming at 2026 races

A new movie from Amazon MGM Studios about the Isle of Man TT will begin filming at this year’s races, which is being produced by Brad Pitt and Channing Tatum.

Announced in 2024, the film, entitled Isle of Man, is being produced by Tatum, Free Association, Pitt’s Plan B, with Reid Carolin directing.

Filming will begin this year at the 2026 races, which is being hailed as a “major moment” for the TT by Sarah Maltby MHK, political member with responsibility for motorsport and tourism.

“This is a major moment not only for the Isle of Man TT Races, but for the Isle of Man as a whole,” she said.

“To have filming begin at this year’s event is another step forward in taking the TT story to a global audience, and with it, showcasing the Island itself to millions of people around the world.

“The TT has always been one of the Isle of Man’s greatest assets, a world-class event with a unique identity and international appeal.

“Projects of this scale have the potential to create lasting value, supporting destination awareness, strengthening our global profile, and helping more people discover what makes the Isle of Man so special.”

Paul Phillips, head of motorsport at the department for enterprise, added: “The TT has an extraordinary story to tell, and what makes this so authentic is that filming begins at the event itself - capturing the real environment, with the real atmosphere, and against the backdrop of the Isle of Man.

“The reach of a project like this goes far beyond motorsport.

“It creates a new opportunity for the Isle of Man and a chance to connect the TT, and the place that makes it possible, with entirely new audiences around the world.”

According to the TT, “filming activity during TT 2026 will be managed in close coordination with the event organiser, race promoter and relevant stakeholders to ensure that race operations, safety and the experience of competitors, officials, residents and fans remain the priority throughout.”

The movie comes as part of a wider package of TT-related products from Amazon MGM, which includes a docuseries filmed during the 2024 TT.
