Since the release of his debut film Heavy in 1995, James Mangold has been impossible to predict, moving between romcoms, Westerns and comic-book movies, garnering an Oscar nomination for his script…
, and once again it has its roots in real life: starring Matt Damon as U.S. automotive designer Carroll Shelby and Christian Bale as British racing driver Ken Miles, Mangold’s film charts the attempt by the Ford Motor Company to unseat rival Enzo Ferrari from his position as reigning champion of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t necessarily the subject matter itself that first drew in Mangold, as he explained to Deadline’s Joe Utichi at Contenders Los Angeles. “Not all of us are motorsports fans,” he said to a packed audience of Oscar and key guild voters. “Certainly, I was not.
According to producer Jenno Topping, Mangold wasn’t the first director to try to crack this particular story. “A lot of people tried many, many times, prior to Jim’s succeeding,” he noted. “Who knows why these things really happen when they happen, [but] part of it was the clarity of Jim’s vision.” Like Mangold, Topping was also acutely aware of the parallels between the film they were making and the story they were telling.
