Jessica Alba Joins Anthony Hopkins and Andy Garcia in Sport Car Biopic MASERATI: THE BROTHERS

Jessica Alba (Sin City) has joined the cast of the upcoming sports car biopic Maserati: The Brothers. She joins the previously cast Anthony Hopkins, Michele Morrone and Andy Garcia.

The film will tell the story of the brothers behind the iconic Italian car. Alba will take on a “pivotal” role in the film as Sandra. Garcia will play Mr. Rossini. Morrone will star as brother Alfieri Maserati. Hopkins will play an Italian financier who bankrolls the family.

Producer Andrea Iervolino said of Alba’s casting: “Jessica Alba is an artist of remarkable versatility and screen presence.

“Her ability to bring authenticity to every role she plays adds a unique quality to Maserati: The Brothers. We are confident that her contribution will enrich this story of passion, challenges, and Italian innovation.”

Maserati was founded in 1914, in Bologna, Italy, and the company was initially an automobile workshop dedicated to the production of race cars.

The Maserati brothers, Alfieri, Ettore and Ernesto, were passionate about engineering and motorsport, which heavily influenced their early innovations. Under their leadership, Maserati quickly established itself in the world of competitive racing, winning major victories, including the prestigious Targa Florio.

The brand's signature trident logo, designed by Mario Maserati, symbolizes power and draws inspiration from the Fountain of Neptune in Bologna.

Alfieri Maserati, one of the founding brothers and a talented engineer, was particularly instrumental in shaping the company's early success. His vision and technical expertise led Maserati to develop cutting-edge engines and designs that defined the brand’s identity.

After Alfieri's untimely death in 1932, his brothers carried on the business, continuing to refine Maserati’s reputation for creating world-class sports and luxury cars.

Throughout its history, the company has undergone several changes in ownership, but it remains synonymous with Italian craftsmanship, luxury, and speed, producing iconic models like the GranTurismo and Quattroporte, which are admired by enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.

Filming is due to get underway at the end of next month in Italy.

Alba most recently starred in Netflix thriller Trigger Warning and continues to lead the Roku Original reality series Honest Renovations.
