Quote: | Michael Mann devotees will likely remember that quite a few years ago, the filmmaker was lining up a movie based on the book"Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans" by A.J. Baime, about the Le Mans battle between Ford and Ferrari in 1966. The project never got off the ground, but it seems Mann hasn't lost his need for speed because he has another car movie he's getting behind the wheel on.
Variety reports that Mann will direct a biopic on Enzo Ferrari. The movie will be based on Brock Yates’ book “Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races.” This project has been brewing for a while, with Sydney Pollack once attached to direct with Al Pacino in the lead, over a decade ago. This version will have a script put together from two different drafts by Troy Kennedy Martin (“The Italian Job”) and David Rayfield (“Out of Africa”), telling the story of the larger than life personality behind one of the world's most famous automobile companies.
Financing is being put together and this won't shoot until 2016, so this one is still a bit of a way off. But we're also just glad to see Mann get moving on something after his cyber-thriller "Blackhat" tanked hard earlier this year. And oh, this is not to be confused with another brewing Ferrari movie, that reportedly has Robert De Niro slated to star. In an ideal world, we'd love to see De Niro and Mann reteam. Somebody, please make that happen... |
Mann is the perfect director for this project.

Nice! Really looking forward to this. I wasn't aware that the biopics in the works were two, quite curious. De Niro and Mann competing against each other, it's Ferrari alright!

Yup! This one. I too initially thought they were the same thing but it seems they're not which is frankly quite odd. (Mann's apparently will be produced by the Cecchi Gori group..let's hope for the best)

Quote: | “Heat” and “Thief” director Michael Mann has been developing a Ferrari biopic for over two decades and now, finally, the project get made as Mann is prepping to shoot the film as early as next spring with Hugh Jackman in early talks to star.
Mann recently re-worked the racing drama script by the late Troy Kennedy Martin (“The Italian Job”), based on Brock Yates’ book, and will reportedly present the project for buyers early next week at the Cannes virtual market.
Hugh Jackman will play the titular Ferrari founder, Enzo Ferrari, in the story which is set in the summer of 1957 during a turbulent time for Ferrari. His company was going broke, his marriage was on the rocks, one of his son’s had died and another was struggling to find his place in the world.
Said to have a “The Godfather”-esque feel in being an epic Italian family drama, the film’s big set piece will be set on one 1,000-mile race across Italy – the 1957 Mille Miglia with Mann reportedly building a fleet of replica race cars from the era. |

“If you get into one of my cars, you get in to win.”
Meanwhile the F1 department:
On the bright side, Ferrari did finally win Le Mans this year
Anyway, looking forward to the mkvdemo. Fingers crossed (again!)

Quote: | With 25 reviews counted, the film has achieved an 80% (6.5/10) score on Rotten Tomatoes with praise for the performances by Driver and co-star Penelope Cruz and for the robust filmmaking, but a few dub it ‘lesser Mann’ mainly due to the script/story. |
