Maserati: after Ferrari and Lamborghini, the Trident gets its own biopic

After two landmarks of Italian motoring made their way to the big screen, Hollywood is turning the ignition again for a third chapter. The Maserati The Brothers biopic is officially underway, and it lines up a cast that few racing films can claim.

Why is cinema so taken with Italian motoring?

For a few years now, the great brands of Modena and its region have been fuelling a genuine cinematic wave. Michael Mann's Ferrari, led by Adam Driver in the role of Enzo Ferrari, then Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend paved the way. These sagas blend mechanical passion, family rivalries and speed, a cocktail that speaks as much to enthusiasts as to film lovers.

Now it is the Trident's turn. The project, long stuck at the rumour stage, has taken shape under the title Maserati: The Brothers, a direct reference to the founding siblings of the brand. It is driven by producer Andrea Iervolino, already involved in this momentum around Italian automotive icons.

Who is in the cast of Maserati: The Brothers?

This is probably the most spectacular selling point of the project. The line-up brings together several major figures of international cinema, geared towards the paternal and family roles that echo the sibling theme.

• Al Pacino, who has joined the Maserati biopic.
• Anthony Hopkins, Oscar-winning actor, part of the cast of Maserati: The Brothers.
• Jessica Alba and Andy Garcia, also confirmed in leading roles (source: The Hollywood Reporter).
• Michele Morrone, the Italian actor, rounding out the line-up.

This concentration of talent places the film in a clearly dramatic ambition, focused more on human destinies than on mechanics alone.

Who is directing the film and where was it shot?

Directing duties go to Bobby Moresco, a screenwriter and filmmaker well respected in Hollywood. He directs Maserati: The Brothers, the biopic devoted to the famous automotive family, with a narrative and dramatic reading of the founders' story.

The film draws its setting from the source. Filming began in Italy, with the production notably taking over the legendary Cinecitta studios in Rome, a true temple of Italian cinema. The first images have already circulated, showcasing the project's headline stars.

What is the true story behind The Brothers?

To understand the subtitle The Brothers, a historical reminder is in order. The Maserati brand was born in Bologna in 1914, driven by several brothers: Alfieri, Bindo, Carlo, Ettore and Ernesto. Together, they made the Trident a major player in motor racing before the brand established itself in the world of luxury.

It is these intertwined destinies, between mechanical genius and fraternal bond, that the biopic intends to bring to the screen. The choice of a cast oriented towards paternal and family figures (Pacino, Hopkins, Garcia) confirms this intimate approach, where the industrial adventure reads first and foremost as a family story. These historical elements are part of the brand's general context and not of the film's official communications.

How does it compare to the Ferrari and Lamborghini biopics?

Maserati: The Brothers follows directly on from the films devoted to Ferrari and Lamborghini. Here is how the three projects relate to each other, based on verified information.

• Ferrari (Michael Mann): biopic centred on Enzo Ferrari, played by Adam Driver, released in cinemas.
• Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend: a story devoted to Ferruccio Lamborghini and the birth of the brand.
• Maserati: The Brothers (Bobby Moresco): biopic of the founding siblings, cast led by Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins, filmed in Italy at Cinecitta.

Common thread to these three productions: a human and family reading of the great Italian industrial epics, rather than a mere demonstration of mechanical power. The Maserati biopic thus completes an unofficial triptych dedicated to the legendary brands of Modena and Emilia-Romagna, under the impetus of Andrea Iervolino.

What is the release date of the Maserati biopic?

At this stage, no definitive official release date has been communicated in the verified sources. Here is what we know for certain.

1. Filming was launched in Italy, at the Cinecitta studios (sources: Deadline, Robb Report).
2. The cast and the director were confirmed across the announcements (sources: Variety, Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter).

With an extraordinary cast led by Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins, direction by Bobby Moresco and a shoot anchored in the heart of Italy, the Trident's biopic has all the assets to reach enthusiasts and film lovers alike. The only suspense that remains: its release date. At Turismo, we mainly take away that these stories are a reminder of one obvious truth, automotive passion can be lived, today, without necessarily going through ownership.
