James Mangold’s upcoming biopic about the team up between Henry Ford II and Lee Iacocca in their mission to build an automobile that could finally defeat Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France. Matt Damon and Christian Bale have been brought on for the main roles, while Jon Bernthal, Noah Jupe, and Caitriona Balfe join Damon and Bale in supporting roles.
Based on a recent Twitter post by John Sant, it seems like they have started filming Ford v. Ferrari. In the set pics below, you can see Matt Damon, Josh Lucas, and Jon Bernthal. Damon plays Carroll Shelby, Lucas plays Leo Beebe, and Bernthal plays Lee Iacocca.
