It’s no secret that it’s taken decades of twists and turns in Hollywood to get Michael Mann’s anticipated “Ferrari,” which makes its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival Aug. 31, …
But what’s less known is that the journey of this biopic about Italian sports car builder and racing pioneer Enzo Ferrari originated with Italy’s storied Cecchi Gori Group before the company went bust.
Cecchi Gori subsequently hired Troy Kennedy Martin to write the script and when Penta Pictures was dissolved in 1995 the “Ferrari” rights went to its U.S. arm, Cecchi Gori Pictures. Then, in 2006 Cecchi Gori Group — which until the mid-1990s was Italy’s top production and distribution outfit — was officially ruled bankrupt by a Rome court after swimming in red ink for a decade. Vittorio Cecchi Gori had branched out from film into television and acquired the A.C. Fiorentina soccer club in a bold expansion attempt that put him in competition with Berlusconi in a direction that went horribly wrong.
“They hired me to flip it around and see what assets were valuable,” said Juul. “And I saw two assets of particular value: one was ‘Silence’ [based the eponymous Japanese novel by Shusaku Endo that in 2016 was made into a movie by Martin Scorsese].” The other was Troy Kennedy Martin’s “Ferrari” script “with dust on it and an option that had actually expired from the Brock Yates book,” adds Juul who renewed that option with Brock Yates’ widow.
