Trailer for the highly anticipated EPIC film 'FERRARI' released

A debut teaser for Michael Mann's 'Ferrari' has just been released, an Enzo Ferrari biopic coming to cinemas at Christmas.

Mann, the filmmaker behind movies such as 'Heat,' 'Collateral,' and 'Miami Vice,' will unveil his latest and ambitious feature film, 'Ferrari,' on December, 25 of this year. The film is set during the summer of 1957, a period when Enzo Ferrari experienced one of the most significant crises in his life.

His factory was going through a tough financial phase, and his marriage wasn't in its best moments, a year after the loss of his son Dino. Concurrently, Enzo struggles with acknowledging his son Piero with Lina Minardi. Ferrari's personal problems intertwine with the sporting challenges ahead, with the Mille Miglia, the 1,000-mile race across Italy, set as a target.

The film, with a screenplay by Troy Kennedy, will feature a prestigious cast including Adam Driver, Penelope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gordon, Gabriel Leone, Jack O'Connell, and Patrick Dempsey.

The film will premiere at the 80th edition of the Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2023. The trailer has already been unveiled, featuring minimal dialogue and leaving the music and the engines as protagonists to build the tension.
