“When you’re the ‘Red Cloud of MotoGP’, you can’t help your voice… to fly into the clouds!” joked Bagnaia on social media, where he shared his excitement at being part of this new project.
By participating in “Elemental”, Bagnaia firmly demonstrates that he is rightfully one of the leading sports figures in Italy today, and is destined to emerge as a true icon of motorcycle racing, both for his achievements on the track and his contributions off it.
Before Bagnaia can enjoy the premiere of the movie, he will participate in the Italian Grand Prix at Mugello, on June 9.
Meanwhile, “Elemental” is directed by Peter Sohn (“The Good Dinosaur”). The movie is set in a world where the four classic elements of fire, earth, water, and air live and coexist.
The two main characters, the go-with-the-flow Wade and the fiery Ember, are both young adults living in the city who meet and collide with each other.
Despite their fundamental differences, the two develop a relationship as they realize that they have more in common than what is on the outside.
