Cast

Production

Michael Mann first began exploring making the film around 2000, having discussed the project with Sydney Pollack. In August 2015, Christian Bale entered negotiations to star as Ferrari. Filming was planned to begin in summer 2016 in Italy, In October of 2015, Paramount Pictures bought the worldwide distribution rights for the film.[2][3] Bale exited the film in January 2016 over concerns of meeting the weight requirements for the role before the start of production.[4] The project stalled until April 2017, when Hugh Jackman entered negotiations to portray Ferrari, and Noomi Rapace as his wife with Paramount no longer involved.[5] The project would again go dormant until June 2020. Mann and Jackman were still attached, with Rapace no longer involved and with STX taking over international distribution. Filming was set to begin in April 2021.[6]

In February 2022, Jackman had since left the film, with Adam Driver now starring as Ferrari. Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley also joined the cast. At the same time, STX also secured domestic distribution rights for the film with a theatrical release planned.[7] In July, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Jack O'Connell and Patrick Dempsey were added to the cast.[8][9] Pre-production began in April 2022, with filming originally set to commence in July in Modena.[10][11][8][12]

Principal photography began on August 17, 2022, in Italy.[13] Filming occurred in Brescia in early October.[14] Production of the film wrapped in late October 2022.[1][15]
