Anthony Hopkins will be the protagonist of the next film Maserati: The Brotherswhich is a straight English-language biopic about the family behind high-performance automobiles.
Hopkins will play an Italian financier who finances the Maserati brothers. The film will be directed by Bobby Moresco and is produced by Italy’s Andrea Iervolino.
Iervolino said in a statement: “Having Anthony Hopkins on board is a dream come true. Her unrivaled ability to embody complex characters will undoubtedly enhance our story, and we’re eager to see how she brings depth to her role.”
Maserati was founded in 1914, in Bologna, Italy, and the company was initially an automotive workshop dedicated to the production of racing cars.
The Maserati brothers, Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto, were passionate about engineering and motorsports, which heavily influenced their early innovations. Under their leadership, Maserati quickly established itself in the world of competitive racing, achieving important victories, including the prestigious Targa Florio.
The brand’s distinctive trident logo, designed by Mario Maserati, symbolizes power and draws inspiration from the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna.
Alfieri Maserati, one of the founding brothers and a talented engineer, was particularly instrumental in bringing about the company’s early successes. His vision and technical expertise led Maserati to develop cutting-edge engines and designs that defined the brand’s identity.
After Alfieri’s untimely death in 1932, his brothers carried on the business, continuing to hone Maserati’s reputation for creating world-class luxury and sports cars.
Throughout its history, the company has undergone several changes of ownership, but remains synonymous with Italian craftsmanship, luxury and speed, producing iconic models such as the GranTurismo and Quattroporte, admired by enthusiasts and collectors around the world.
Filming of the film will begin soon in Bologna. The rest of the casting is being kept secret.
