Neon Buys Michael Mann’s ‘Ferrari,’ Racing Drama With Adam Driver Will Open in 20231

Neon has acquired Ferrari, the next film from Michael Mann. It will release the drama in theaters nationwide on Christmas Day. The film, Manns first since 2015s Blackhat, will star Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari and Penlope Cruz as his wife, Laura Ferrari.

The ensemble includes Shailene Woodley, Jack OConnell, Sarah Gadon, Patrick Dempsey and Gabriel Leone.According to an official description, the film is set during the summer of 1957 and follows Enzo Ferrari as he deals with the possible bankruptcy of his company, as well as his stormy marriage and the death of his son. Against that backdrop, Ferrari wagers everything on one race, the 1,000-mile trek across Italy, the Mille Miglia.

Michael Mann, one of the most innovative and influential filmmakers in American cinema, was moved by the power of this intensely dramatic story to persist for years to bring it to the big screen, Neon founder Tom Quinn said. Ferrari reaffirms Neons continued commitment to supporting visionary auteurs who push the boundaries of cinema. Working with Michael Mann onFerrariis a dream come true for Neon.

Mann is one of the most respected moviemakers in the business, having created such classics as Heat, The Insider and The Last of the Mohicans. But his more recent movies have struggled at the box office, with Blackhat losing tens of millions and Miami Vice and Public Enemies failing to put up the numbers needed to justify their high cost. Despite that, apparently several studios were circling Ferrari, believing it could be an Oscar contender. STX Entertainment and its partners will distribute the movie internationally.

The deal for Ferrari was negotiated by Dan Friedkin, Ryan Friedkin and Quinn for Neon with CAA Media Finance and attorney Harold Brown of Gang Tyre Ramer Brown on behalf of Mann.Neons releases include the Oscar-winning Parasite and the Oscar-nominated Triangle of Sadness.
