First trailer released for Maserati film starring Al Pacino and Anthony Hopkins

The first trailer has arrived for “Maserati: The Brothers,” a biographical drama about the family whose name became one of the defining symbols of Italian automotive industry.

The film follows the Maserati brothers from their early automotive work to the creation of a brand known around the world. Their passion for cars and racing drives the story, alongside their attempts to survive the dangerous world of motorsport. Maserati was founded in Bologna in 1914, and racing formed part of its identity from the beginning. The film also touches on the marque’s Indianapolis 500 victories in 1939 and 1940.

Michele Morrone plays Alfieri Maserati, Salvatore Esposito plays Bindo, and Lorenzo de Moor plays Carlo. Al Pacino appears as businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro, while Anthony Hopkins plays Luca Antonelli. Andy Garcia portrays Mr. Rossini, and Jessica Alba plays Sandra.

Bobby Moresco directs the film. It was shot in Italy, including Modena, Bologna and Rome’s Cinecittà studios, with historical Maserati cars from the 1920s and 1930s reconstructed for the production. Moresco previously produced “Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend,” and producer Andrea Iervolino has also announced “Bugatti: The Genius.” Magenta Light Studios holds the U.S. distribution rights, but no exact premiere date has been set.
