Ford v. Ferrari Trailer: Damon & Bale Take On The American Dream
The first trailer for Ford v. Ferrari is officially released online. Starring Matt Damon as automotive visionary Carroll Shelby and Christian Bale as race car driver Ken Miles, the film chronicles the true story of the heated competition between Ford and Ferrari to win the 1966 Le Mans. It had been development for a number of years and was at one point envisioned as a potential vehicle (no pun) for Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Things finally picked up in 2018 when Logan director James Mangold signed on to call the shots and production began in July of that year.
Considering the pedigree on both sides of the camera, Ford v. Ferrari is seen by some as a possible awards contender in the earliest days of this year's Oscar discussion. Fox certainly seems to feel that way too, having slated the film for release in November. With a handful of months remaining until Ford v. Ferrari hits theaters, the studio is finally kicking off the marketing campaign. Earlier this week, the film's first poster was unveiled, and now cinephiles have an opportunity to see some footage.
Tonight during Game 2 of the 2019 NBA Finals, Fox (who, as you may recall, is now officially under the Disney umbrella) premiered the first Ford v. Ferrari trailer. Watch it for yourself in the space below:
