Robert De Niro has a long history of immersing himself in a character, and well and truly bringing them to life on the silver-screen, especially if they’re Italian. Well apparently, the American actor is rumoured to play Enzo Ferrari in his latest film, simply called Ferrari.
While no official confirmation has been issued, De Niro has been quoted as saying “It is an honour to tell the life of an extraordinary man who revolutionised the world of motorsport. The film will go into production soon, mostly in Italy, and has absolute priority over all my other projects.”
On top of De Niro’s involvement, The Guardian is also pointing to Clint Eastwood as being a potential director for the movie.
The script itself is said to be being put together by Nixon screenwriters Stephen J Rivele and Christopher Wilkinson and reportedly have a big budget and said to run from 1945 all the way up to Ferrari’s death in 1988.
While little else is known about the movie, or if it’s genuinely happening at all, we look forward to watch it when it appears in silver screen!
