Michael Mann Directing Ferrari Movie

Shit.  This is some kinda manly movie dream project.  I thought Blackhat might have finished him off, but Michael Mann is set to direct another movie… a Ferrari movie.

According to Variety, the movie will be based on the book Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races and is expected to go before the cameras sometime next year.

Two scripts had been written for the film – Troy Kennedy Martin (The Italian Job) and David Rayfield (Out of Africa) wrote them, respectively – which have been turned into one.

Sydney Pollack was attached to direct the project in 2010, with Al Pacino playing Ferrari.  I hope that’s still the case, since Mann and Pacino have worked together multiple times.  Now, Michael Mann directing an Enzo movie with Al Pacino as the man himself.

It surely cannot get better.
