Michael Mann helmed Ferrari. He is distinguished for his crime thrillers like Heat and Collateral, not forgetting the movie and TV program Miami Vice.
“I can’t even begin to count the number of times I thought this was an impossible movie to make,” Mann confessed to Deadline Hollywood. “But each time, I’d go back and reread the script and be reminded of the captivating elements that drew me in in the first place. This kept me devoted to the project until the very end.”
