“Logan” star Hugh Jackman is reportedly in talks to play Enzo Ferrari in Michael Mann’s biopic on the Italian motor racing driver and entrepreneur.
Swedish actress Noomi Rapace is also said to be set to play Ferrari’s estranged wife, Linda, from a script penned by Mann himself.
The film, aptly titled “Ferrari”, has been in the planning for months, but things are starting to move for a summer 2018 production start, according to Deadline.
The movie takes place in 1957, a year where passion, failure, success and death and life all collided in Ferrari’s battle for supremacy against rival Maserati.
