Al Pacino has joined the cast of the biopic "Maserati: The Brothers" directed by Bobby Moresco. The film tells the story of the family behind the high-performance automobiles that are as iconic as Ferrari and Lamborghini. Pacino will be playing businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro, who supported the Maserati family and invested in the early days of the company. The ensemble cast features Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Abla, Michele Morrone, Salvatore Esposito, Gina La Piana ("Intentional") and Tatiana Luter ("Rudy Valentino").
Maserati was founded in 1914 in a garage in the central Italian city of Bologna by three brothers: Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto. The trident that is the company's emblem is a replica of the one found in the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna. From early on, the company was tied to the world of auto racing.
Maserati's first Grand Prix racing car, called "Type 26" is the vehicle that Alfieri Maserati was driving in the 1927 Messina Cup race when he had a near fatal crash. Alfieri died a few years later, on March 3, 1932, at the age of 44 from complications related to that accident. In 1937, the brothers, while remaining involved, sold a controlling stake in the company that is now owned by Fiat.
Andrea Iervolino ("Modì") is the lead producer on the biopic. Nicki Cortese and Wayne Marc Godfrey from Bright White Light ("The Beast") are co-financing and executive producing the project. The second and final phase of filming of "Maserati" will start in June in Rome. The film is set to open in theaters worldwide in early Fall 2025.
