Ford vs Ferrari movie
The trailer for the film which is released in November 2019 is out. It looks very good so far. Lots of potential for this to be one of the best racing movies in our generation.
It could genuinely promote the sport too. The general mainstream audience just does not know that sportscar racing is a superior form of racing to garbage like nascar. |

I'm really looking forward to it. If it's a quarter as good as the book, it should be excellent......

From the look of the trailers I’d say there has been quite a bit of research into it. Certainly a good lineup and the right characters involved in it

i think the main theme is about the relationships involved between the two men who ran ford and Enzo and the men hired to take that war to the track at Le Mans

Looking forward to this, it looks good. Not looking forward to 50 years time though, the Epic " Toyota vs CLM : BOP Wars " quite so much....

The car being crashed right next to Bale's Miles towards the end of that trailer is the #29 Maranello Concessionaires Ferrari that was driven by Courage and Pike in 1966 right?
That's a weird cut, I don't think #29 crashed at all and went on to finish the race. Did they just make up a crash to make it "more dramatic"? LOL |

Probably, I don't think we can honestly expect it to be 100% authentic....

I remember the on track action for Rush was faithfully recreated wasn't it? Can't compare that to anything else since all the other racing movies are fiction except for 3 but I haven't seen that one.

Yep. Trailer looks good though..... I bet we'll see plenty of that over at Le Mans in a few days. Count how many times they run it on the big screens during the week!

Rush had quite a bit of artistic licence. Including pre 76 racing footage. A decent film, which conveyed some of the character of the real people. I still haven’t worked out how I feel about it. When the real life was such an amazing story does it have to have poetic licence. But entertaining it was.
Although on the realism I remember a comment from a guy in MI5 on the radio talking the Enigma film. He confirm it got two things absolutely spot on. The main character was called Alan Turing and there was definitely a Second World War. |

When the real deals are true characters like Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles, it's gonna be hard to match that. Lee Iaocca and HF2 for that matter...Enzo, too but who cares about him?!
HOWEVER, I wasn't alive during this time and have always loved the actual story. How Hollywoodfied it ends up being is what will be the tipping point. Rush was well done to me, with those little things like me saying "that's not Suzuka, that's Brands Hatch!" Same with Days of Thunder. That's Rockingham, not Daytona!! One is a movie based on true events and the other is loosely based on real people but the inner workings of true stories into film will always be a chore. Brühl and Hemsworth were good in Rush and I find Damon and Bale enjoyable, so the acting won't be an issue. Odd Damon is Shelby, tho.... Anyway, I'm generally excited with cautious optimism. This is what I want people to make movies about. I've got two comic book kids and I'm sooooo over Marvel / DC movies (some are decent), so we'll be there, just not when it opens. That's older son's birthday so I'll have to watch another comic book film... Last edited by fieldodreams79; 5 Jun 2019 at 03:19. |

And the Black Panther was the last straw for me. I thought it was horrendous and everyone loved it. The plot was dull and like most of the other comic book films, it was all visuals and could have been wrapped up in 90 mins or less. That's just my opinion and why I'm not a millionaire movie producer. |

I have followed this project for some time and I was a bit disappointed by the trailer. The trailer is probably deceiving on purpose (i.e. including more action even if the film might not have that much action), but I think it is still revealing the style of the movie. And I was hoping for a less flamboyant, more toned down and more serious style.
Altough the movie will probably leave British involvement out of the story (Lola Cars etc), I don't care about small historical inaccuracies, in the same way that I don't care if a World War II movie has wrong kind of museum tanks if the combat scenes are still believably re-created. Unfortunately in this case they might have the correct cars, but the racing scenes look more like Pixar movies and less like old racing film reels emphasized by that flying Ferrari? 100 feet in the air. Based on the trailer the 1966 race itself is not going to be a huge part of the movie. Hopefully it doesn't simplify the racing part too much. ps. That Le Mans recreation in the trailer looks a bit like Road Atlanta with CGI scenery. Not bad considering you can immediately tell which sections of the Le Mans they're supposed to resemble. Other circuits that can be recognized are Auto Club, Willow Springs and Fontana as Daytona. Last edited by deggis; 10 Jun 2019 at 01:31. |
