Hollywood comes to the Mountain Course as Amazon MGM Studios films on the Isle of Man
Excitement is building on the Isle of Man as production gets underway for a major Hollywood film inspired by the world-famous TT races. Director Reid Carolin has revealed that the upcoming Amazon MGM Studios project, titled 'Isle of Man', will capture the authentic spirit of both the iconic racing event and the island itself during the 2026 TT fortnight.
The highly anticipated film stars Channing Tatum and Eve Hewson, and marks a significant moment for Isle of Man tourism. Speaking ahead of today's opening practice session, Director Carolin explained that his team plans to embed themselves within the action, immersing themselves fully in the atmosphere and energy of TT week.
Rather than simply recreating the event in a studio, the production crew will be on location throughout the racing fortnight, experiencing the unique blend of speed, passion, and island culture that makes the TT legendary. This commitment to authenticity reflects a desire to do justice to one of motorsport's most celebrated occasions.
While the film crew will have a significant presence on the island, Carolin has assured fans and officials that production will be carefully managed to avoid disrupting the races themselves. The team is working collaboratively to ensure that the Snaefell Mountain Course remains the priority, allowing riders to compete without interference from filming activities.
For visitors and motorsport enthusiasts planning to attend the 2026 TT, this behind-the-scenes Hollywood production adds an extra layer of intrigue to an already unmissable event. It's a unique opportunity to witness racing history being made—and captured for the big screen.
