EXCLUSIVE: We can reveal a first a look image of Andy Garcia in sports car biopic Maserati: The Brothers, which has been filming in Italy.
Also joining the cast as brother Carlo Maserati is Lorenzo De Moor (Brigands: The Quest for Gold), pictured below for the first time with co-star Michele Morrone.
Also starring are Anthony Hopkins, Salvatore Esposito, Jessica Alba (pictured above with Garcia), Maya Talem, Victoria Sophia and Annie Bezikian. As we revealed, Diane Warren is composing an original song.
The English-language sports car biopic is being directed by Oscar winner Bobby Moresco (Crash). Andrea Iervolino produces. Filming got underway this month in Italy. Above and below are first look images from the set.
Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers: Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto. From its early days, the company – which is now known for luxury cars — was connected to the world of car racing. Maserati’s first Grand Prix vehicle is the one that Alfieri Maserati was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later at the age of 44 from injuries related to that carsh. In 1937, the brothers sold a controlling stake in the company that is now owned by Fiat.
Iervolino’s previous company, ILBE Group – in which he was partnered with Monika Bacardi — produced the Bobby Moresco-directed biopic Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend and was also among the producers of Micheal Mann’s Ferrari starring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz.
Andrea Iervolino, producer, said today: “It has been a true pleasure and honor to witness an exceptional international and Italian cast seamlessly bring to life a story of love, brotherhood, ambition, and dreams. The depth of the characters and the brilliance of the actors, paired with the crew’s incredible work, make me even more excited for the public to experience this film. We look forward to resuming filming in the spring and eagerly await next year, when audiences can finally see this beautiful story on screen.”
