From Road & Track

Early last year a Ferruccio Lamborghini biopic, with the working title Lamborghini – The Legend, was confirmed to be in the works, based on a book by Lamborghini's son, Tonino. Variety reports that Antonio Banderas has signed on to play Ferruccio Lamborghini, with Alec Baldwin co-staring as Enzo Ferrari.

The distribution company behind the film, the Ambi Group, has also tapped Academy Award-winning director Michael Radford to helm the project, with Crash screenwriter Bobby Moresco to writing the script. Filming is set to begin in Italy this summer.

The film, set to be adapted from Tonino Lamborgini's Ferruccio Lamborghini: La storia ufficiale, will cover Ferruccio's life as a prominent post-war tractor maker, and then as a car builder. Enzo Ferrari plays an important role in Lamborghini's life as a spat between the two led Ferruccio to establish his famous company.

Hopefully this film will see the light of day, unlike the multiple Enzo Ferrari biopics that have seemed to stall.
