We've already talked about it several months ago, a film is about to unveil the fascinating story of the Maserati brothers with the biopic Maserati: The Brothers. After the dazzling success of the films Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend and Ferrari, it's now Maserati's turn to attract the attention of film buffs and car enthusiasts alike.
The film, directed by Bobby Moresco (Oscar winner for Crash), will retrace the saga of the family Maserati, a pioneer in the manufacture of exceptional sports cars since 1914. Founded in Modena by the Alfieri brothers, Ettore and Ernesto, the brand has always been linked to the world of motor racing, a link that has marked the company's history, with the tragic incident of the Messina Cup race in 1927 at the heart of the plot. The accident in which Alfieri Maserati almost lost his life marked a turning point in the history of the family and the brand, and he died a few years later as a result of his injuries.
In the lead role, Michele Morrone will play Alfieri Maserati, the dreamer with a passion for cars and competition. Alongside him, Salvatore Esposito will play the role of Bindo Maserati, another key brother in the brand's ascent. The film also features a range of renowned actors: Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia and Jessica Alba will also be on hand.
Producer Andrea Iervolino expressed his pride in the work accomplished on this film. "Jessica Alba, Michele Morrone and Salvatore Esposito deliver outstanding performances," he said. "Their talents and dedication make it possible to bring extraordinary characters to life." He also added that he was honored to be working once again with such prestigious actors as Anthony Hopkins and Andy Garcia, whose presence on the set will add an undeniable magnetism to this epic film.
This biopic not only traces the lives of the Maserati brothers but also the challenges and sacrifices they endured to found one of the automotive world's most iconic brands. The film will focus in particular on the figure of Alfieri Maserati, whose vision and determination marked the birth of the brand, but also on the complex, brotherly relationships between the three brothers. Their story, full of passion, dreams and sacrifice, is the story of a shared love of the automobile and the will to succeed in an increasingly competitive world.
Maserati: The Brothers is produced by the Iervolino & Bacardi Entertainment (ILBE) group, which already produced the Lamborghini film and co-produced Ferrari with Michael Mann. This Maserati biopic aims to bring the brothers' story to a global audience, appealing to sports car fans, car enthusiasts and film buffs the world over.
Filming began several months ago in Italy, in the Modena region, a symbolic location for the Maserati brand. The film is scheduled for release in 2025.
