According to Variety, Cecchi Gori Pictures CEO Niels Juul said he is in advanced talks with financiers and a well-known U.S. director. “It’s a beautiful tale of the story of Ferrari battling with Maserati for supremacy in speed, yet it’s not a racing movie: it’s a ‘Godfather’ movie with racing in it”, said Juul.
Shooting of the film stopped the last time after its director, Sydney Pollack, died.
