“Adam Driver will play Enzo circa 1957, Penelope Cruz will play wife Laura, Shailene Woods the Mistress, Michael Mann’s biopic of the 1st Ferrari Dreamer start, filming in Modena in May, I expect it to be super” — Paul Ebeling
The long waited biopic Ferrari, based on automotive journalist Brock Yates’ Y 1991 book Ferrari – The Man, The Cars, The Races, The Machine, will finally make it to the silver screen.
Director Michael Mann has been working on the project for 20 yrs. Thanks to his passion for the project, along with the involvement of major entertainment and media company STX, which will handle distribution.
The film is set in the Summer of Y 1957, as bankruptcy stalks the relatively carmaker Ferrari SpA. Enzo and Laura’s beloved son Dino had passed away the yr before from muscular dystrophy at 24 anni. And Enzo has acknowledged Piero as his own.
A bold move happens, Enzo decides to counter his losses by rolling the dice on 1 race, 1,000 miles across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.
“Ferrari is so much more than a story about a man and his machine,” said the Chairman of STX Films’ Motion Picture Group. “It is an extraordinary and emotional story that Michael (Mann) has been developing for years and the entire team at STX is looking forward to the start of production with this dream cast and filmmaker. Adam Driver is one of the most talented and fascinating actors working today, and we could not be more thrilled to pair him with Penélope, whose legendary career builds with every role she takes.”
The script was written by Mr. Mann and Troy Kennedy Martin, who penned The Italian Job. The movie will be shot in Modena starting in May. No word on when it will be in theaters. But with the recent success of the racing film Ford v Ferrari, hopes are high.
