While Ferrari doesn’t have a definitive release date as it is still filming, here’s what we know about the movie: the setting is the summer of 1957 when the titular ex-racecar driver finds himself at a crossroads. The plot thickens as the company he built with his wife Laura is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the Ferrari couple has to enter a legendary race across Italy—the Mille Miglia. Shailene Woodley is set to play Ferrari’s mistress and Patrick Dempsey will also portray racecar driver Piero Taruffi. Along with Cruz and Driver, this makes Ferrari a star-studded film we can’t wait to see!
