‘Ferrari’ Trailer Explores the Deadly Passion and Terrible Joy of Automotive Mogul’s Life in Adam Driver-Led Biopic
In the first full trailer for Neon’s Ferrari, the Italian automotive mogul’s personal and professional lives collide.
The new Michael Mann-directed film stars Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari, the ex-Formula 1 racer who built his own factory and established the Ferrari brand. Set during the summer of 1957, the movie’s two-minute teaser plays on a well-known concept in quantum mechanics: Two objects cannot occupy the same space at the same moment in time. The full look follows a previously released teaser trailer.
