Christian Bale steps down as Enzo Ferrari
Christian Bale has refused to participate in the biopic about Enzo Ferrari, which is going to be directed by Michael Mann. It is reported by the Variety edition. The reason is the impossibility of gaining the required weight for the image on time without risk to health. Whether the performer of the role of Ferrari's wife, Noomi Rapace, will remain in the cast is not yet specified. Michael Mann will have to pick up a replacement for Bale on a tight schedule, as movieing is due to start in spring 2016. The project will be based on the book "Enzo Ferrari: The Man, The Cars, The Race, The Machine" by Brock Yates, which was published in 1991. It tells about the ascent of the Italian designer and entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari to the top of the Olympus of the world car industry. According to Michael Mann himself, which he did earlier in an interview, he dreamed of making a movie about Ferrari for a long time, but managed to enlist the support of Hollywood studios only in 2015. Recall that Christian Bale has repeatedly radically changed his weight in the past to participate in popular Hollywood movie projects. Sometimes the difference was a couple of tens of kilograms.
