"If you get into one of my cars, you get in to win."

The show-stopping official trailer for Michael Mann's next film Ferrari has arrived and, while the film isn't due out in theaters until this Christmas, the early buzz out of the 80th Venice International Film Festival is quite positive, possibly an early indicator that the upcoming sports thriller will be a big winner this coming holiday season. 

Following its world premiere on Thursday night, Mann and attending stars Adam Driver and Patrick Dempsey were treated to a 7 1/2-minute standing ovation, and the film has since debuted to a strong 75% positive reception on review aggregator RottenTomatoes, which are both good signs heading into the Fall as it hopes to build buzz and be a major player during awards season next year. 

With Driver in the title role as Enzo Ferrari and Academy Award-winner Penélope Cruz as his wife Laura Ferrari, the film's synopsis reads, "It is the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle of Formula 1, ex-racer Enzo Ferrari is in crisis. Bankruptcy threatens the factory he and his wife, Laura built from nothing ten years earlier. Their volatile marriage has been battered by the loss of their son, Dino a year earlier. Ferrari struggles to acknowledge his son Piero with Lina Lardi. Meanwhile, his drivers' passion to win pushes them to the edge as they launch into the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the Mille Miglia."

The film stars Adam Driver (Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker; The Last Duel), Penélope Cruz (Vanilla Sky; Murder on the Orient Express), Shailene Woodley (The Descendants; Dumb Money), Sarah Gadon (The Amazing Spider-Man 2; Dracula Untold), Gabriel Leone (200 Anos; Um Lugar ao Sol), Jack O'Connell (300: Rise of an Empire; Little Fish), and Patrick Dempsey (Sweet Home Alabama; Transformers: Dark of the Moon).

Ferrari hits theaters on December 25!

@TheNewYorker - that's why they call it a teaser trailer

@cyclopsprime - “teaser” doesn’t mean dull…

@TheNewYorker - honestly…yeah. I was expecting something…more? Solid cast and director is great. Not sure about driver as another Italian and especially aged up like this, but he’s usually good in everything.

Side note: gran turismo trailers were ass water, but I just saw it and it was surprisingly good. Definitely recommend checking it out.

Definitely a bottle of wine and popcorn type of movie.

As an enthusiast of exotic sports cars and a fan of Michael Mann films (I even have his "Red Dragon" on disc), this definitely has piqued my interest. And, was I the only one who thought that their AirPods/laptop volume/whatever went out while watching that trailer and you couldn't hear the dialogue? Then I realized that it was a stylistic choice and I'm an idiot.

Doesn't have Michael Mann's usual look to it, which for me is a good thing. His (visual) style isn't always my favorite.

I reckon from the trailer alone this will be very good movie.

Won't ever be better than Heat but not many films are.
