"Dozens of Maseratis of 1920s and 1930s designs have been built specially for a feature film about the Italian car company's earliest days, with a cast headed by Anthony Hopkins. Maserati: The Brothers tells the story of siblings driven by their love of cars to create an automotive company from scratch. It all began in a little garage in the Italian city of Bologna: in 1914 they founded a sports supercar company that went on to make some of the fastest vehicles on the planet."
"Set in early 20th-century Italy, it focuses on the eldest brother Carlo, the ambitious Alfieri and their siblings Bindo, Ettore and Ernesto, as they pursue the idea of building innovative cars that combine art and technology. Tensions escalate with financial struggles, the risks of racing and a forbidden love affair. Carlo strives to unite the family around the shared goal of founding Maserati but he dies of tuberculosis before he can see his dream come true."
Dozens of replica Maseratis styled like 1920s and 1930s cars were built for a major biographical film about the Maserati siblings. The production assembled a high-profile cast led by Anthony Hopkins and features Al Pacino, Michele Morrone, Andy Garcia and Jessica Alba. The film follows brothers Carlo, Alfieri, Bindo, Ettore and Ernesto as they found a sports supercar company in Bologna in 1914 and pursue racing and innovation. The story includes family tensions, financial hardship, racing danger and romantic complications, and culminates in Carlo's death from tuberculosis and Alfieri's later fatal complications from a crash.
