    “It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers’ passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia,” reads the synopsis.

    Directed by Michael Mann, the film is written by Troy Kennedy Martin. The upcoming film will be Mann’s comeback to director’s chair after eight years, since the release of Blackhat (2015). Troy has adapted Ferrari to screen from the best-selling book ‘Enzo Ferrari: The Man, The Cars, The Races, The Machine’ by Brock Yates.

    The film is set to hit the theatres for Christmas.

  • Hollywood actor Shailene Woodley to headline ‘Three Women’ series

    By PTI
    LOS ANGELES: Actor Shailene Woodley is set to star in the new hour-long series, titled “Three Women”.

    The drama, set up at Showtime Network, is an official adaptation of the non-fiction bestseller of the same name by author Lisa Taddeo, reported Variety.

    Showtime, which landed the book’s rights in summer 2019 in a major bidding war, has given the project a straight-to-series order.

    The show will start production later this year.

    Taddeo’s book tells the true multi-generational story of three American women — in their 20s, 30 and 40s — who suffered backlash for their sexual desires as well as their public and private pursuits of sexual independence and justice.

    “Lina, a homemaker in suburban Indiana, is a decade into a passionless marriage when she embarks on an affair that quickly becomes all-consuming and transforms her life.

    “Sloane, a glamorous entrepreneur in the Northeast, has a committed open marriage with Richard, until two sexy new strangers threaten their aspirational love story.

    Maggie, a student in North Dakota, weathers an intense storm after accusing her married English teacher of an inappropriate relationship,” the official plotline read.

    Woodley will portray Gia, a writer grieving the loss of her family who persuades each of the three spectacular “ordinary” women to tell her their stories, changing the course of her life forever in the process.

    Taddeo will serve as writer and executive producer on the series, which will be showrun by Laura Eason.

    Woodley is best known for featuring in critically-acclaimed shows such as “The Secret Life of the American Teenager” and “Big Little Lies”.

    The actor has also starred in hit movies like “The Descendants”, “The Spectacular Now”, the “Divergent” franchise and “The Fault in Our Stars”.

    Woodley will soon be seen in the film “The Last Letter From Your Lover” and indie thriller “Misanthrope”, both of which she also produced.

    LOS ANGELES: “Big Little Lies” star Shailene Woodley has boarded the cast of “Robots”, an indie comedy set in near future.

    Woodley is stepping in for Emma Roberts, who was originally attached to star in the film with actor-comic Jack Whitehall.

    The movie is being co-directed by Oscar-nominated writer Anthony Hines and Casper Christensen.

    According to The Hollywood Reporter, “Robots” is based on the short story by science fiction writer Robert Sheckley.

    The plot follows Charles (Whitehall) and Elaine (Woodley) who trick people into relationships with illegal robot doubles of themselves.

    When they unwittingly scam each other, their robot doubles fall in love and elope, forcing the duo to join forces and hunt them down before the authorities discover their secret.

    Hines, known for “Borat” and its sequel, and Casper Christensen of “Klown” fame penned the screenplay.

    “At a time when comedies are needed more than ever, I couldn’t be more delighted than to have Shailene and Jack team up to play the leads in this movie,” said Hines.

    Woodley recently finished work on another indie, “Misanthrope” on which she serves as producer.

    She stars in the upcoming film “The Last Letter from Your Lover”, which she also produced.

  • Shailene Woodley is dating Aaron Rodgers?

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: Seems like love is in the air for American actor Shailene Woodley and NFL superstar Aaron Rodgers.

    As per People magazine, the Green Bay Packers quarterback and ‘Big Little Lies’ actor are dating. One source told the publication that Rodgers seems very happy with Woodley, while another insider said that though the pair are dating, the relationship is casual.

    Rodgers has been in Green Bay, Wisconsin, to stay “very focused on his season,” which came to an end on January 24 when the Packers lost to Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship Game.

    Meanwhile, Woodley has been working on-set in Montreal to film ‘Misanthrope’, according to Canada Live. The crime movie is being directed by Damian Szifron.

    Spilling the beans about their relationship, another source told E! News, “They have seen each other and been in touch. They continue to talk and see each other when they can. They are both focused on their careers but they also make time for each other.”

    Rodgers was previously in a relationship with former race car driver Danica Patrick, although the two split in July of last year after two years together. Patrick’s representative had confirmed the news of their split to People magazine at the time. The two had first confirmed they were a couple in January 2018.

    Rodgers has also previously dated actress Olivia Munn for three years. They split in 2017. Woodley was last linked to rugby player Ben Volavola, whom she reportedly met in Fiji while she was filming the movie ‘Adrift’.

    In January 2018, the actor confirmed her relationship with Volavola by sharing a photo on Instagram stories of her kissing the rugby player. The pair then made their red carpet debut at the film’s premiere in May 2018. Woodley, however, said that they had split in an April 2020 interview with the New York Times.
