Jessica Alba, the acclaimed Latina actress known for her dynamic roles in films such as Sin City and Fantastic Four, is set to star in Maserati: The Brothers, a new biopic chronicling the lives of the Maserati family, the automotive visionaries behind the iconic luxury car brand. Alba will take on the pivotal role of Sandra, a character central to the Maserati story, joining a star-studded cast that includes Academy Award-winner Anthony Hopkins, Italian actor Michele Morrone, and Andy Garcia.

According to Deadline, The Brothers will explore the Maserati family’s journey from a humble garage in Bologna to international renown in the world of high-performance luxury cars. The story centers on the three Maserati brothers — Alfieri, Ettore, and Ernesto — who founded the company in 1914, initially aiming to dominate car racing.

Their first Grand Prix car featured Alfieri Maserati himself as a driver until a near-fatal crash at the 1927 Messina Cup changed the trajectory of both his life and the company’s future. This pivotal moment will likely be portrayed in the film, illuminating the challenges and triumphs that shaped the brothers’ legacy. Tragically, Alfieri passed away at just 44 due to lingering injuries from the accident, leaving an indelible mark on Maserati’s history.  

Who’s Behind the Scenes?

Behind the scenes, Maserati: The Brothers is produced by Andrea Iervolino, known for his recent ventures, including Lamborghini: The Man Behind the Legend and the biopic Ferrari, starring Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz. The film will be directed by Bobby Moresco, an Oscar-winning filmmaker acclaimed for Crash, whose direction promises to bring the depth and intensity of Italian automotive history to life.

The casting of Alba brings an added dimension to the project, with Iervolino praising her versatility and ability to bring authenticity to each role, a factor that he believes will “enrich this story of passion, challenges, and Italian innovation.” 

Alba’s recent projects include her Netflix thriller Trigger Warning and her role as the host of Honest Renovations, a Roku Original series. Her career choices reflect a wide-ranging appeal that has endeared her to audiences, bringing significant anticipation to her latest role.  

Filming for Maserati: The Brothers will commence in Italy next month.
