A new film is preparing to tell an insight into the life of Enzo Ferrari. This time the story of the Drake will debut on the big screen, with a film that will focus on one of the most complicated and dark times for the founder of the car manufacturer of the same name: the summer of 1957, when Ferrari was caught between economic difficulties in who paid the Maranello brand and the torments for the loss of his beloved Dino, who died in 1956. The film will be directed by Michael Mann, who returns to tell Enzo Ferrari from another point of view after having produced “Le Mans ’66 – La great challenge ”, a film that recounted the rivalry between the two brands with Drake (played on the occasion by Remo Girone) as a marginal protagonist.
This time to interpret Enzo Ferrari will be Adam Driver, a young Hollywood face consecrated in the latest Star Wars trilogy thanks to the character of Kylo Ren and more recently protagonist in The House of Gucci alongside Lady Gaga. The actor was cast in the place of Hugh Jackman after the Australian dropped the part for reasons currently unknown. The film will be based on Brock Yates’ book entitled “Enzo Ferrari – The Man and the Machine”And will therefore retrace a decided moment for the Drake, when the founder of the Cavallino decided to bet everything on the Mille Miglia to try to revive the fortunes of the Maranello factory. The decision to take part in the Freccia Rossa will pay off from a sporting point of view Enzo Ferrari, with the triple affirmation thanks to the 315 S of Piero Taruffi and Wolfgang von Trips and the 250 GT Berlinetta of Olivier Gendebien but will also mark the end of the competition after the fatal accident of the Ferrari 335 S of Alfonso de Portago, the protagonist of a fatal collision with a telephone pole after an off-road exit which cost the lives of 10 spectators.
Next to Adam Driver there will then be Penelope Cruz, in the role of Enzo Ferrari’s wife, Laura Garello and Shailene Woodley who instead will play the lover of the Drake, Lina Lardi. Filming will begin in the spring of 2022, between Modena and some significant locations in Emilia Romagna, in the heart of the Motor Valley.
