Filming of a new Hollywood movie dedicated to the life of Italian motor racing icon and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari is underway in Modena, northern Italy, with a TV series on the same subject currently in pre-production in Rome. The film is being directed by Michael Mann and stars Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari and Penelope Cruz as his wife Laura, with Shailene Woodley playing the role of Enzo's mistress Lina Lardi.
The new film marks a return to Italy for Driver who played Maurizio Gucci in Ridley Scott's blockbuster House of Gucci last year. Christian Bale was first mentioned in lead role for the Ferrari movie, then Hugh Jackman was reportedly chosen before eventually being replaced by Driver.
