Anthony Hopkins to Star in ‘Maserati: The Brothers,’ Biopic of Famous Car Family Directed by Bobby Moresco (EXCLUSIVE)

As a seasoned cinephile with a penchant for historical dramas and biopics, I can hardly contain my excitement about Anthony Hopkins’ upcoming role in “Maserati: The Brothers.” Having watched Hopkins’ mesmerizing performances throughout his illustrious career, it is truly a dream come true to see him take on yet another complex character.


Actor Anthony Hopkins has been linked to take on a role in “Maserati: The Brothers,” an English biopic directed by Bobby Moresco. This film focuses on the family behind the renowned high-performance cars that, together with Ferrari and Lamborghini, have made Italy famous.

In a forthcoming film titled “Maserati,” an illustrious actor who has won the coveted Oscar will portray a wealthy Italian financier who supports the Maserati brothers. This movie is being produced by Andrea Iervolino, an Italian producer, through his recently established production company known as The Andrea Iervolino Company, which encompasses both film and television projects.

Previously, Iervolino worked with Monika Bacardi at ILBE Group, a company they co-owned. This company was responsible for producing “Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend,” a biopic directed by Bobby Moresco, and also contributed to the production of Michael Mann’s film “Ferrari” featuring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz.

It’s a fantastic realization to have Anthony Hopkins join us, as stated. His exceptional talent for portraying intricate characters promises to greatly enhance our narrative. We can hardly wait to witness the richness he’ll add to his character.

Further information regarding the cast of “Maserati: The Brothers,” set to begin filming shortly in Bologna, remains confidential for now.

Maserati automobiles were initially crafted in 1914 within a garage located in Bologna, Italy, by three siblings: Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto.

Sadly, Alfieri passed away in 1932 at age 44 due to complications arising from that accident. In 1937, the brothers continued their involvement but sold a majority share of the company, now owned by Fiat.

In my perspective as a film enthusiast, Hopkins’ latest stellar portrayal shines through in his character as Emperor Vespasian during the twilight of his rule, spanning the final decade, within Roland Emmerich’s epic gladiator series titled “Those About to Die.
