Andy Garcia’s latest film will be racing into theaters in the near future…
Magenta Light Studios has acquired the U.S. rights to Maserati: The Brothers, starring the 69-year-old Cuban award-winning actor.
The new film chronices the rise of Italy’s legendary Maserati family, with Oscar-winning Crash producer Bobby Moresco at the helm.
The film enters a second and final phase of production in Rome this month, with a fall theatrical release targeted.
The plan is for the movie to hit more than 2,000 screens in the U.S. and Canada and more than 450 across Italy and Spain.
Maserati: The Brothers follows the remarkable legacy of the Maserati family, automotive pioneers who helped shape the luxury sports car industry.
News of the distribution deal comes following the recent addition to the cast of The Godfather‘s Al Pacino, who will play Vincenzo Vaccaro, a key early investor and supporter of the Maserati dynasty.
Others in the ensemble include Anthony Hopkins, Jessica Alba , Michele Morrone and Salvatore Esposito, as well as Maya Talem, Gina La Piana and Tatiana Luter.
“We’re thrilled to bring Maserati: The Brothers into our slate — a film that roars with elegance, speed, and heart,” said Magenta Light CEO Bob Yari. “It’s a cinematic tribute to a visionary ambition legacy, and we’re honored to be steering it toward U.S. theatrical audiences.”
Commented producer Andrea Iervolino, “We’re thrilled to partner with Magenta Light Studios to bring Maserati: The Brothers to audiences across the U.S. The film is a powerful portrait of ambition, legacy, and the relentless pursuit of innovation that defined the Maserati family. We can’t wait to share this remarkable journey with the world and celebrate another iconic Italian excellence story.”
C.J. Vranca, Head of Business & Legal Affairs, repped Magenta Light in the deal, with pic’s producer Gary Michael Walters (Whiplash, Nightcrawler) of Walters Media Group arranging the deal and negotiating on behalf of The Andrea Iervolino Company.
Best known for releasing JT Mollner’s acclaimed cat-and-mouse thriller Strange Darling, starring Willa Fitzgerald and Kyle Gallner, Magenta Light Studios is next set to release the Rebel Wilson action comedy Bride Hard on June 20. Also on the company’s upcoming slate is Renny Harlin’s Deep Water, starring Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley.
