20th Century Fox is pulling out its checkered flag for its new racing flick, Go Like Hell. Car-lovers and gear heads are lining up for this film that is based off a recently optioned book called, "Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans".
Set in the 1960s, the book tells the true story of Ford Motor Company's attempt to beat the exotic euro auto manufacturers at their own game by hiring a team to beat them in European racing. Now in the 60s... there wasn't much safety equipment as there was today, so that means the drivers were pretty much daredevils as they were professionals.
Was most interesting about this project is the big names that may involved with it. Producer Lucas Foster was dishing out all the plans for the film on Adam Carolla's Podcast.
Lucas says, “I have a lot of interest from big actors. It would shock you the telephone calls that have come in from people.” In particular Foster says, “There’s a lot of conversation with my good friend, Brad Pitt.”
He further commented that he has been talking to Josh Brolin and mentioned Russell Crowe, Matt Damon, Eric Bana and Daniel Day Lewis as other actors of interest.
