Jessica Alba Joins Cast of Maserati Biopic

Jessica Alba has been cast in the upcoming biopic 'Maserati: The Brothers', joining an ensemble that includes Anthony Hopkins, Michele Morrone, and Andy Garcia. Alba will portray Sandra, a pivotal character, while Morrone will play Alfieri Maserati, and Hopkins will take on the role of an Italian financier supporting the Maserati family. The film, directed by Bobby Moresco and produced by Andrea Iervolino, is set to begin filming in Italy at the end of November. The Maserati brand, founded in 1914 in Bologna by the brothers Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto, initially focused on car racing before becoming known for luxury automobiles. The history of the brand includes a tragic racing accident leading to Alfieri's death, and by 1937, the family sold their controlling stake, with Maserati now owned by Fiat. Producer Iervolino expressed confidence in Alba's versatility and authenticity, stating her involvement will enrich the film's narrative of passion and innovation.
