A Film About Ferruccio Lamborghini's Life Is in the Works
Maybe they heard there were two Ferrari movies coming out.
According to Variety, a Lamborghini movie has been confirmed after Ambi Group optioned the life rights to Ferruccio Lamborghini. It will fund and produce the film, with plans to begin shooting in Italy this summer. The working title? Lamborghini—The Legend.
Tonino Lamborghini, Ferrucio's son, is consulting the film. The plot line will include Lamborghini's time as a tractor manufacturer, a WWII military vehicle creator, and a car designer when he launched Automobili Lamborghini in 1963.
Ambi Group cofounder Andrea Iervolino said in a statement,
I am very proud to produce a film about an iconic man who had such a profound impact around the world, and left a legacy that lives on in such strong spirit. Ferruccio Lamborghini was a pioneering businessman who brought honor to Italy and helped raise worldwide awareness for not just cars, but all products made in Italy. He started from scratch, relying only on his great passion and an unbridled desire to succeed in life–a desire he fulfilled.
We'd love to find out who will be chosen to play Lamborghini—and who will play Enzo Ferrari in the upcoming Ferrari movies, as Christian Bale just dropped out. You wouldn't have Lamborghini without Ferrari.
