In the highly-anticipated trailer release of “Ferrari,” acclaimed actor Adam Driver undergoes a striking transformation to portray the legendary Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s upcoming film. Alongside him, Penelope Cruz takes on the role of Ferrari’s wife, Laura Ferrari, while Shailene Woodley appears as his mistress, Lina Lardi. The film is set in 1957, a pivotal year leading up to the tragic Mille Miglia race that resulted in a fatal crash involving Ferrari’s race car. The movie’s narrative delves into the dramatic events surrounding the race, with a cast including Patrick Dempsey as Piero Taruffi, Jack O’Connell as Peter Collins, Sarah Gadon as Linda Christian, and Gabriel Leone as Alfonso de Portago.

Scheduled to premiere at the Venice Film Festival, “Ferrari” stands apart from the ongoing industry turmoil as it boasts independence from major studios. Michael Mann expressed his satisfaction with the film’s unique journey, noting that its unconventional origins and content would not have aligned with the traditional studio system. The screenplay, co-written by Mann and the late Troy Kennedy-Martin, draws inspiration from Brock Yate’s biography “Enzo Ferrari — The Man, The Cars, The Races, The Machine.” As audiences await its release, the film promises to offer an electrifying glimpse into the enigmatic life of Enzo Ferrari and the poignant events leading up to the fateful race.
