The Cannes Film Festival provided the backdrop for an announcement about a new feature film that is to be made in France about the life of Alain Prost. The film is to be made by Labyrinthe Films, which is company run by director, screenwriter and producer Julien Leclercq and producer Julien Madon. The film, to be called Prost, will also involve another production company called Mars Films, which will oversee French distribution of the film, while TF1 Studio will handle international sales. The film has a budget of $19 million and will tell the story of Alain Prost's life, with the focus being on his relationships with his brother Daniel and his rivalry with Ayrton Senna.

The film is due to begin 13 weeks of shooting at the end of August at Magny-Cours and is due to premier in May 2018.
Elsewhere, the Formula One group is believed to be planning to use the opening of the new Cars 3 movie as a means of promoting the British Grand Prix.

The film will have its UK premiere at the Edinburgh International Film Festival on June 25 and will go on general release three weeks later. Mercedes driver and three-time Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton will provide the voice of Hamilton, a voice command assistant used by a trainer who will be trying to help the hero Lightning McQueen return to the track after
