Michael Mann's latest hit “Ferrari” has received multiple at-home viewing release dates.
The movie raced to platforms for premium digital purchase and rental on January 23 and will be released on Blu-ray and DVD on March 12.
The physical release will include featurettes that explore how Mann recreated the Mille Miglia and the accident that ended the race for good, as well as the many vehicles featured during and outside the race. Interviews with cast members will also highlight the excellent ensemble assembled for the racing biopic.
“Ferrari” stars Adam Driver as Italian sports car entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari, Penelope Cruz as Ferrari’s wife Laura Ferrari and Shailene Woodley as his mistress Lina Lardi.
It also stars Patrick Dempsey as fellow racecar driver Piero Taruffi, Jack O’Connell as racer Peter Collins, Sarah Gadon as Linda Christian, and Gabriel Leone as driver Alfonso de Portago.
“Ferrari” is set in 1957, prior to the infamous Mille Miglia race during which de Portago’s Ferrari racecar blew a tire and he and nine spectators died in a crash. The car entrepreneur and the tire manufacturer were charged with manslaughter, but the case was later dismissed.
Most of the movie was shot in Brescia, Italy, where the real Mille Miglia race took place. The “Ferrari” screenplay was adapted by Mann and the late Troy Kennedy-Martin from Brock Yate’s 1991 biography “Enzo Ferrari — The Man, The Cars, The Races, The Machine.”
"Ferrari" hit theaters on December 25 and despite it spun out at the box office with only $35.1 million globally, the pic has been highly regarded by critics and audiences alike with a 72% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes.
