"Now, The Hollywood Reporter reports that[/URL] Michael Mann is in talks with 20th Century Fox to develop and potentially direct 'Go Like Hell,' the story behind the development of the car and the racing team that led Ford to beat Ferrari -- the perennial Le Mans champ -- sweeping the top three positions in 1966.

The project is based on Playboy editor A.J. Baime's book, 'Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and their Battle For Speed and Glory at Le Mans,' that recounts the story of how Henry Ford II, with the aid of racer Carroll Shelby and executive Lee Iacocca (famous for green-lighting the Mustang and shepherding Chrysler in the 1980s, saving it from bankruptcy) poured millions of dollars into a racing program to create a new image for the company to expand its market around the world."

Wow, this is truly bad ass

While I can't say I'm a Ford guy, I do love the GT40, the story and the history....granted Ford threw more money into their racing than the current national debt!

The book is a fun read. It'd be nice to see a movie made :smoke:
