Maserati Origins Biopic in Motion From Producer Andrea Iervolino Following Lamborghini and Ferrari Movies (EXCLUSIVE)
variety.comNick Vivarelli International Correspondent Italian producer Andrea Iervolino is planning to bring to the big screen “Maserati: a Racing Life,” an English-language biopic about the family behind the high-performance automobiles that, along with Ferrari and Lamborghini, Italy is known for.
Iervolino’s AMBI Group – in which he is partnered with Monika Bacardi – previously produced the Bobby Moresco-directed biopic “Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend” and is also among producers of Micheal Mann’s upcoming “Ferrari” with Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley.
He told Variety he sees “Maserati” as a natural segue to those films about Italy’s iconic automakers. “I want to celebrate the entrepreneurial genius of Italians, their history and humanity,” he said. “Italy isn’t just pizza, mandolins, pasta and the mob,” Iervolino added. “It’s a country of many geniuses who left a huge legacy.
When it comes to the auto making sector these families were pioneers, way ahead of the curve.” The “Maserati” film’s international director and cast are still being decided.
