Adam Driver Interview: Ferrari & Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis
There’s been a lot of buzz for the upcoming biopic, Ferrari, this year. Aside from it being Oscar-nominated director, Michael Mann’s first film in seven years (Blackhat, 2015), the movie stars Adam Driver as the luxury sports car magnate, Enzo Ferrari, in a performance that sees the actor “playing to his strengths,“ and evoking one Robert De Niro, according to Collider’s Ross Bonaime.
Adapted to a screenplay by the late Troy Kennedy Martin, Ferrari takes place in the summer of 1957 in the years after the Second World War, revolving around the dangerous Mille Miglia, a 1,000-mile race across the unpredictable terrain of Italy, through cities and country roads. Former racer and entrepreneur, Enzo Ferrari is facing the decline of his sports car factory and empire, and everything his life has amounted to is resting on that finish line. More than an epic sports film, however, Ferrari hones in on the inner turmoils of its central character to examine the heartache of loss and the enigmatic concept of love through Enzo’s furious and grieving wife, Laura Ferrari (Penélope Cruz), and his secret affair with Lina Lardi (Shailene Woodley).
With Ferrari hitting theaters just in time for the holidays, Collider’s Steve Weintraub sat down with Driver to discuss the film. Driver admits that after first reading the “well written“ script he wasn’t sure there was a connection with the character, but that it was Mann who convinced him otherwise. They talk about the director’s approach to his films, the prospect of Heat 2, how to marathon Mann’s filmography, and his experience on the set of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis.
