Andy Garcia joins the cast of Maserati: The Brothers, the biographical film that celebrates the story of the Maserati brothers, founders of the Italian automotive brand. Directed by Academy Award-winner Bobby Moresco, known for his work on Crash and Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend, the film promises to explore the challenges the Maserati family faced in building a luxury car empire.
Alongside Garcia, the cast also features Anthony Hopkins, who will portray a prominent Italian financier whose influence proves crucial to the company’s founding. Italian actor and singer Michele Morrone is also confirmed, likely adding an authentic Italian touch to the film.
Bologna as the set for the Maserati movie
The story will focus on Alfiero, Ettore, and Ernesto Maserati, the three brothers who founded Maserati in a small garage in Bologna in 1914. Driven by their passion for speed and engineering, the brothers transformed a modest workshop into a legendary brand that, for over a century, has embodied the excellence of Italian craftsmanship. The choice to film primarily in Bologna, the original home of the company, enriches the narrative with authenticity and Italian tradition.
The plot of the film will delve into both the technical challenges faced by the Maseratis and the family tensions that marked their journey. It will not only be a historical journey but also an intimate portrayal of the relationships among family members, their ambitions, and the sacrifices they made to create a symbol of automotive luxury.
“Maserati: The Brothers”, produced by Andrea Iervolino, thus aims to pay homage to the vision and innovation of the Maserati family, focusing on the complex dynamics and entrepreneurial risks that defined the birth of the brand. Filming is set to begin in the coming weeks, marking the start of a cinematic adventure that promises to be a heartfelt tribute to the legacy of Italian automotive history and culture. We look forward to seeing the film in theaters.
