Directed by the acclaimed Bobby Moresco, this English-language cinematic masterpiece promises to delve deep into the riveting history of the iconic Maserati family, whose name is synonymous with Italian luxury and racing prowess.
With production helmed by Andrea Iervolino of The Andrea Iervolino Company, expectations are sky-high for a film that marries Hollywood royalty with automotive aristocracy.
The buzz is real! Anthony Hopkins, the legendary talent with an Oscar to his name, is set to bring his unparalleled acting chops to the role of an Italian financier pivotal to the Maserati brothers' success.
"Having Anthony Hopkins on board is a dream come true," Iervolino said in a statement. "His unparalleled ability to embody complex characters will undoubtedly elevate our story, and we are eager to see how he brings depth to his role." Hopkins' role promises to add a layer of gravitas and complexity to a story already rich with innovation, ambition, and the high stakes of the racing world.

Founded in 1914 by the Maserati brothers in Bologna, Italy, Maserati quickly became a name that raced its way into the hearts of auto enthusiasts. Known for their exotic luxury cars and a storied history in auto racing, the Maserati brand's emblem—a trident inspired by the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna—symbolizes both the elegance and ferocity of their creations.
The upcoming biopic aims to capture the essence of this legendary family, from their humble beginnings in a garage to becoming a cornerstone of Italian automotive excellence.
With shooting set to start soon in Bologna, details about the rest of the cast remain a closely guarded secret. However, the anticipation is already revving up.
