This time,Deadlinereports thatEttore Bugattiwill be the main highlight. TheBugattimovie will narrate the life story of the founder of the famous automobile company, who was known for utilizing his creativity and unyielding zeal for design and technology to transform the automotive world.
Filming of the new movie will begin late next year in Italy and France for Iervolino’s new banner, The Andrea Iervolino Company. The producer is also in discussions with scribes and directors on the project, which will feature a U.S. and international cast and be in English. Announcing this extraordinary production, Iervolino said today:
“After the success of our films on Lamborghini and Ferrari, I am thrilled to bring another global automotive icon to the screen. Bugatti will be a film that honors the passion and innovation that have defined one of the most iconic car manufacturers of all time.”
While the world is familiar with Bugatti’s craftsmanship in the automobile industry, the Italian-born French designer and manufacturer also designed airplane engines.
