Neon has landed the North American rights to Michael Mann’s Ferrari, setting a nationwide Christmas Day release.

The project was acquired in a competitive situation that included other studios and a streamer.

Ferrari is set for a Venice Film Festival debut, prepping it for a possible awards season run.

Oscar nominee Adam Driver stars as Enzo Ferrari along with Oscar winner Penélope Cruz as Laura Ferrari.

Shailene Woodley, Jack O’Connell, Sarah Gadon, Patrick Dempsey and Gabriel Leone round out the cast.

The synopsis for the: “Ferrari is set during the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle and danger of 1950’s Formula 1, ex-racer, Enzo Ferrari, is in crisis. Bankruptcy stalks the company he and his wife, Laura, built from nothing ten years earlier. Their tempestuous marriage struggles with the mourning for their one son. Ferrari struggles with the acknowledgment of another. His drivers’ lust to win pushes them out to the edge. He wagers all in a roll of the dice on one race, the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.”
