Michael Mann still has another gear. At 80, he’s driving ‘Ferrari’

NEW YORK — Michael Mann, who gave Crockett a white Ferrari on “Miami Vice,” pummeled cars with bullets in the shootout in “Heat” and set the thriller “Collateral” in a taxicab, has had an affection for automobiles since growing up in Chicago. It’s similar to him and the camera.” “Ferrari,” which opens in theaters Dec. 25, is Mann’s first film since 2015’s “Blackhat.” He’s wanted to make it for three decades. This image released by Neon shows Adam Driver as Enzo Ferrari in a scene from “Ferrari.” But while you will find plenty of speed and gorgeous, rosso corsa-colored cars in “Ferrari,” that’s not what compelled Mann, for so many years, to make the movie. “But Ferrari is in the present and he’s looking for what’s next, what’s next.” This image released by Neon shows a scene from "Ferrari."
