Adam Driver Says He Relates to Enzo Ferrari’s ‘Relentlessness and Ambition’ in New Featurette

Adam Driver’s been really hitting the pavement doing his best to promote Michael Mann’s “Ferrari,” a film he is clearly very proud of (and as a smaller Neon independent film, likely needs all the press it can get, as it only came out on Christmas Day; listen to our podcast interview with Mann here).

Bad behavior included “sleeping with hundreds of women” and not minding when his best drivers died in the line of high-speed duty.Never mind that he was married to Laura, and had a longterm mistress, Lina Lardi — played by Shailene Woodley — and a lovechild.

After years of rumblings, it appears “Heat 2” is actually happening. And if you’ve read the novel by co-authored by filmmaker Michael Mann and Meg Gardiner, then you’re probably aware of the plot of the upcoming film.

Even though he’s a legendary filmmaker, it’s safe to assume Michael Mann isn’t the top name on Kevin Feige’s short list of directors to discuss Marvel Studios projects with.

Ava DuVernay and Michael Mann go way back. In 2003, DuVernay was a publicist on the set of Mann’s “Collateral.” Watching the auteur shoot in her old stomping grounds of East Los Angeles gave her the idea to pick up the camera. “That made me think, ‘Wow, this is possible,’” recalls DuVernay, sitting opposite the Oscar-nominated Mann to discuss where their careers have taken them in the 20 years since.
