variety.comSophia Scorziello editor Adam Driver is nearly unrecognizable in the first trailer for Michael Mann’s upcoming biopic “Ferrari,” where he suits up to play Italian sports car entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari.
Driver stars alongside Penelope Cruz as Ferrari’s wife Laura Ferrari and Shailene Woodley as his mistress Lina Lardi. “Ferrari” will premiere at Venice Film Festival this year and is looking for a U.S.
distributor. Also starring in the film is Patrick Dempsey as fellow racecar driver Piero Taruffi, Jack O’Connell as racer Peter Collins, Sarah Gadon as Linda Christian and Gabriel Leone as driver Alfonso de Portago. “Ferrari” is set in 1957, prior to the infamous Mille Miglia race during which de Portago’s Ferrari racecar blew a tire and he and nine spectators died in a crash.
