A debut teaser for Michael Mann’s Ferrari has just been released. Devoid of much dialogue and any music – just the throbbing sound of car engines – the teaser shows Adam Driver as the Enzo Ferrari in the biopic, set for screens over Christmas.
Mann directs from as screenplay by Troy Kennedy Martin with Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gordon, Gabriel Leone, Jack O’Connell, and Patrick Dempsey making up the main cast.
It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia.
The film will premiere at the 80th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2023 and then land in US cinemas on Christmas Day through Neon. Sky Cinema have the rights to the film in the UK and will release the film in 2023.
Here’s the teaser.
