While he expressed his desire to bring Ferrari to life on the big screen, he also acknowledged that he would not feel incomplete if the project didn’t materialize, showing a balanced perspective on its realization.
Joining Pacino and De Niro in the cast are the talented Penelope Cruz and Shailene Woodley, adding even more star power to the highly anticipated film. The release date for Ferrari in UK cinemas is set for December 26, ensuring a thrilling holiday season for moviegoers.
