Jack O’Connell, Patrick Dempsey and Sarah Gadon are rounding out the main cast of Michael Mann’s upcoming race car drama “Ferrari”.
The trio join Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley and Gabriel Leone in the film which will begin filming August 1st in Italy.
The film is set during the summer of 1957. Ex-racecar driver, Ferrari (Driver), is in crisis. Bankruptcy stalks the company he and his wife, Laura (Woodley), built from nothing ten years earlier.
Their tempestuous marriage struggles with the mourning for one son and the acknowledgement of another. He decides to counter his losses by rolling the dice on one race – 1,000 miles across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.
O’Connell and Dempsey will play drivers Peter Collins and Piero Taruffi respectively, while Gadon is playing actress Linda Christian.
Troy Kennedy Martin co-wrote the script with Mann, based on Brock Yates’ book “Enzo Ferrari – The Man and the Machine”. STX Entertainment will release the film worldwide.
