I hope this satsifies the need for speed
Ha! That looks cool.
I’m looking forward to this, but a quick eye at the cast list for this movie suggest it could be just called “FORD.”
Enzo’s name is in the credits, but after that it’s “Ferrari Engineer #7” and “Enzo’s Lawyer” and “Ferrari Pit Girl” which makes it look like it’ll be something of a one-sided viewpoint.
Yeah, it look’s like it’s strictly the Ford story.
The book is very good, but the focus is clearly on the Ford effort. Ferrari is the baseline, and in some sense the bad guy.
I hope they start the story showing Shelby’s Cobra/Daytona cobra efforts before they are brought in for the GT40 effort.
Can’t wait for the Tesla vs Ford movie.
Ferrari had won six in a row before 1966. It was definitely a good guys v. bad guys situation as far as Ford was concerned. An American manufacturer hadn’t won since 1921 and until 1967, the car wasn’t even built in the US.
Ken Miles was a colorful guy. I expect this to be a really fun movie. Also, it allowed me a chance to see Matt Damon and Christian Bale in person at the Indy 500 so that was pretty cool. They waved the green flag this year. :)
I don’t know how old Carroll Shelby was and Matt Damon is, and I don’t care, but that casting decision just seems weird.
Doesn’t look all that weird:
The best is when the Model X beats an Alfa Romeo 4c while towing an Alfa Romeo 4c (around the 3:50 mark):
This was really good, definitely in my top 5 for the year. Perfect balance between car porn and character work, and Christian Bale was just on fire.
Totally worth seeing even if you don’t care about cars.
Indeed.
Ooh, I just realized this is by the fella behind Logan. I’m going to follow your advice! :)
Holy hell, I really liked this movie. Was a ton of fun, and the racing scenes are all kinds of fantastic.

This was a delight. I can’t remember the last time I heard so much applause during the course of a film.
I haven’t seen this movie, but the story it’s about is definitely a bad ass story.
I thought Ford stopped making cars and only make trucks and SUVs now? What is the point of this movie?
Saw this in IMAX tonight. It was awesome. I think the point is to portray a close friendship and professional relationship and a bunch of high-powered sports cars.
I kind have a hankerin’ to see this. Especially after going to the movies yesterday and seeing a group of folks hanging around these right outside the theater.
Shortly after they amassed I saw them in the theater lobby, standing in a circle, a woman with a zip-top bag collecting cash and handing out movie tickets to members of the group.

You totally should have stolen one of their cars while they were in the movie.
