Bobby Moresco Set to Direct Maserati Origins Movie ‘Maserati: A Racing Life’ Following ‘Lamborghini’ (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comNick Vivarelli International Correspondent Bobby Moresco, who won an Oscar as co-writer of “Crash,” and more recently directed “Lamborghini – The Man Behind the Legend,” is set to direct the biopic “Maserati: A Racing Life” about the family that in 1914 started making the high-performance Maserati automobiles in a garage in Bologna.
Like “Lamborghini,” the Maserati origins movie is being produced by Andrea Iervolino’s ILBE Group, in which he is partnered with Monika Bacardi.
ILBE has taken a liking for films about Italy’s iconic automakers. They are also among producers of Micheal Mann’s upcoming “Ferrari” with Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley. “Maserati” is the story of three brothers Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto who started out making spark plugs and devices for aircraft engines and, driven by a passion for fast cars, entered the auto racing world.
Maserati’s first Grand Prix racing car, called “Type 26,” is the vehicle that Alfieri Maserati was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash.
