Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, as well as Shailene Woodley have landed a role in Michael Mann’s long-awaited passion project Ferrari, which has now been resurrected. STXfilms has acquired international rights to the biography, which is set to begin production in May 2022.
As per The Hollywood Reporter, Driver will portray Enzo Ferrari as well as Cruz will play his wife, Laura Ferrari, inside the biopic about just the famous Italian racing driver, whilst Shailene Woodley will portray Enzo’s mistress, Lina Lardi.
In 1957, Enzo Ferrari, a racecar manufacturer, is facing bankruptcy as well as a tumultuous marriage with Laura.
In the midst of this turmoil, Ferrari as well as his crew of drivers take a chance on the fabled Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile race across Italy. Mann will direct from a storey he co-wrote alongside Troy Kennedy Martin, who has worked on The Italian Job and other films. The concept is based on Brock Yates’ 1991 book “Enzo Ferrari: The Man, The Cars, The Races, The Machine,” which chronicles the car magnate’s ascent to power.
Christian Bale, as well as Hugh Jackman, were formerly attached to feature in Michael Mann’s Ferrari movie. P.J. van Sandwijk, John Lesher, Lars Sylvest, Thorsten Schumacher, and Gareth West would produce under his Moto Productions name, with Niels Juul executive producing.
STXfilms as well as its partners will release Ferrari all over the world. In May, the manufacturing is set to begin.
