‘Ferrari’ movie to star Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz, and Shailene Woodley
In an exclusive piece, Deadline announced that Michael Mann is getting closer and clearer every day on his passion project – ‘Ferrari.’ The new cast has really helped him out, but it’s also thanks to a big domestic deal with STX that things are moving forward.Some of the stars announced to be part of the film are Oscar nominee Adam Driver, Oscar winner Penélope Cruz and Emmy nominee Shailene Woodley.
With Hugh Jackman out, Driver will step into the title role of Enzo until Parallel Mothers star Cruz takes over. This announcement comes after Cruz was revealed to take on Laura and Big Little Lies’ Woodley signed up to play Lina Lardi.
STX International has picked up domestic rights to a big-screen adaptation of the Mann movie franchise, and they’re still looking for international partners. They’ve already secured Amazon’s involvement in Italy as well.
The film, which has been in the works for two decades, is set during the summer of 1957. Ex-race car driver and Ferrari founder Enzo Amore happens to be bankrupt due to his wife’s gambling addiction. They had worked hard on building their home from nothing ten years earlier while also dealing with their son’s passing away.
The project has gone through many different casting iterations, but this is the farthest it has reached.
Mann will take on directing duties from a script written by Troy Kennedy Martin (The Italian Job) which is based on a book called ‘Enzo Ferrari- The Man And His Machine,’ which was previously released in 2017.
Adam Driver is an American actor. He has appeared in films such as ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’, ‘Paterson’ and ‘Logan Lucky’, and on television shows like ‘Girls’ and ‘The Report’.
