Not everyone would say no to Leonardo DiCaprio, but Fisher Stevens was initially skeptical when the A-lister phoned him with the idea for a potential follow-up to their 2016 eco-doc: a film about Formula E— which is basically Formula One, but with eco-friendly electric cars. “Leonardo called me up and said, ‘Hey, come down [to Brooklyn] and check out this race,’” Stevens recalled when he came by the Deadline studio. “I live in Brooklyn, and I had no idea there was even a race track there.
Intrigued by the idea, Stevens put in a call to Brit Malcolm Venville. “I said, ‘Dude, they want me to make a documentary about racing.’ I know Malcolm loves racing, knows a lot about Formula One, and is one of the greatest photographers of cars that I’ve ever seen, so I said, ‘They’ll fly us to Valencia to see if there’s a movie—maybe we could do it together.’ And we flew to Valencia, Spain for a testing. I didn’t know what a testing was; I didn’t know anything.
