Adam Driver is nearly unrecognizable in Ferrari.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Ferrari star Adam Driver reveals he was not allowed to drive Ferraris while filming. Following an eight-year hiatus for director Michael Mann, Ferrari is an upcoming biopic about the titular sports car entrepreneur.
In addition to Driver, Ferrari stars Shailene Woodley, Sarah Gadon, Penelope Cruz, Patrick Dempsey, and Jack O’Connell. Despite playing Ferrari himself, Driver says he was not allowed to drive real Ferraris while on set. According to Collider, Driver’s co-star Dempsey–who has a racing license–was allowed behind the wheel, but Driver was kept away from the classic sports cars. Driver cited “insurance reasons” for his being denied Ferrari-driving. Check out the full quote from Driver below: They wouldn’t let me drive the cars for insurance reasons. They don’t trust me with small pieces of equipment. Big pieces of equipment like sandwiches they’ll let me handle. What to Expect from Ferrari Ferrari’s recently-released teaser trailer features the sports cars heavily. There are few words in Ferrari’s trailer, but its shots are populated by zooming races and the tones of engines revving. Driver was a liability reduced to handling “big pieces of equipment like sandwiches,” but Ferrari’s insured drivers are sure to deliver. Ferrari sees the return of director Mann in his first feature effort since 2015’s crime-thriller Blackhat. Prior to these films, Mann has directed a number of other features and is perhaps best known for Heat and The Last of the Mohicans. In these films, Mann has demonstrated his propensity for action sequences against gripping drama. If Ferrari’s teaser is any indication, this strength will serve him well in the upcoming biopic. Ferrari may also be a chance for the non-driving Driver to get awards attention. With slick-backed grey hair and an unusual vocal tone, Driver has transformed himself to play Enzo Ferrari, looking nearly unrecognizable. With a distinguished director like Mann on his side, Ferrari may be a great chance for Driver to demonstrate his acting chops in a higher-profile dramatic role than his previous work. Audiences will eagerly await further trailers and looks at Driver as Ferrari awaits its Christmas release.
