Adam Driveris racing into another true-story role.
On Wednesday, Neon debuted the first trailer for filmmaker Michael Mann’s new movieFerrari, which follows Driver, 39, as Italian former race car driver and Ferrari automobile founder Enzo Ferrari in the summer of 1957.
The trailer meets Enzo as he watches a driver test drive one of his vehicles. Moments from his personal life with wife Laura (Penélope Cruz) and family are then intercut with scenes showing cars racing across the Italian countryside into the country’s largest cities. Enzo is seen visiting his son Alfredo’s grave; some moments show pure love between Enzo and Laura, while others display arguments between the married couple as he is also seen in bed with Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley).
