Tom Cruise is set to reunite with director Joseph Kosinski for the racing movie, Go Like Hell. Cruise and Kosinski will collaborate in developing the movie based on A.J. Baime’s book “Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans.”
So
far no official announcements but the film will be “set in the early 1960s when
the Ford Motor Company was falling behind in the sports car marketplace, with
baby boomers preferring to buy fast, stylish automobiles rather than safe,
comfortable vehicles”. Go Like Hell will then focus on the rivalry between Henry
Ford II and Enzo Ferrari.
Cruise
will star as Ford II, who “with the help of young visionary Lee Iacocca and
former racing champion-turned-engineer Carroll Shelby, concocted a scheme to
reinvent the Ford company by entering the high-stakes world of European car
racing, which had been dominated by Enzo Ferrari up until then. The trio set out to design, build and race a
car that could beat Ferrari at his own game at the world’s most prestigious and
dangerous race — Le Mans.”
