A film about the Maseratti brothers is in the making. The cast includes the creme de la creme of Hollywood

Al Pacino has joined the interestingly promising cast of the Maserati brothers biopic. It was previously reported that Anthony Hopkins, Andy Garcia, Jessica Alba and "365 Days" star Michele Morrone will also star. The film is being produced by Italian producer Andrea Iervolino.

Not a day goes by without news about Italian producer Andrea Iervolino, whose list of projects is constantly growing. And not only those related to filmmaking. Alongside Mel Gibson himself, Iervolino is currently working on an Italian-American partnership agreement aimed at bringing mutual benefits to Italian and Hollywood cinematography.

At the same time, Andrea Iervolino is developing, among other things, a project related to the most famous car designers in the world. After biographical films about Ferrari and Lamborghini, films about Bugatti and the Maserati brothers are currently in preparation. And it is the latter that has been joined by the legendary Al Pacino.

The information about Al Pacino's participation in the film "Maserati: The Brothers" was given by Iervolino himself. As emphasized by the Variety portal, it has not yet been officially confirmed by the actor's representatives. In the film directed by Bobbye Moresco , Pacino is to play the role of businessman Vincenzo Vaccaro, who supported the Maserati brothers and invested in their company at the beginning of its activity.

The Maserati brand was founded in a Bologna garage by the three Maserati brothers: Alfieri, Ernesto and Ettore in 1914. The famous emblem adorning their cars was inspired by Neptune's trident from the fountain in their hometown.

From the very beginning, their cars took part in races. In 1927, the first racing car produced by the brothers' company, known as the Type 26, was driven by Alfieri Maserati, who almost died in the Messina Cup.

He died five years later from complications of the accident. In 1937, the brothers sold a controlling interest in the company, which is now owned by the Stellantis Group, a joint venture between the Italian-American company Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the French group PSA
