Louis Garrel, Benedetta Cimatti, Barbara Ronchi and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi have joined the cast of Italian filmmaker Marco Bellocchio’s Fiat-Chrysler biopic Falcon, which has started shooting in Toronto.
They join Pierfrancesco Favino, who is already confirmed as the lead in the biopic about Sergio Marchionne, who led struggling Italian car manufacturer Fiat out of bankruptcy, conquering the American market by merging with Chrysler, but paying a personal price.
Garrel will co-star as John Elkann, the young Fiat heir burdened by his family’s legacy who Marchionne takes under his wing.
Rai Cinema International Distribution have come on board to handle international sales on the biopic, which began shooting two weeks ago in Toronto and Niagara Falls. The shoot will continue in Italy’s Piedmont region and Rome before returning to Canada and the US in early 2027.
Bellocchio has co-written the script with Ludovica Rampoldi, Andrea Di Stefano, Stefano Rulli and Oliviero Del Papa. The film is being produced by Kavac Film, Rai Cinema and Emotion Network in collaboration with STLA Europe, with 01 Distribution set to release Falcon in Italy.
