Christian Bale will play Enzo Ferrari in a new movie by Michael Mann - Business Insider

Christian Bale is reported by Deadline to be lined up to portray Enzo Ferrari in another biopic about the legendary race team owner and automaker. We put race team owner first, because that was Enzo's largest passion over the course of his 90-year life. Previously, it was making headlines over an Enzo Ferrari biopic. Enzo himself died in 1988, and a movie about his life has been a Hollywood dream ever since. Ferrari was well established at this time as producing world-beating racing cars. The disaster at Le Mans occurred two years prior, but another disaster was set to occur a bit closer to home. Enzo Ferrari, along with the company that produced the tire, were charged and tried with manslaughter. Looking back at the roles that Bale has played, we see no issues with him transforming into Ferrari's Father. His range and skill as an actor should definitely bring a bit of Enzo's story to life.
