How ‘Ferrari’ Became Vincent Chase’s Recent Reality And Not His Wildest Dreams.
The audience of the HBO series Entourage cannot help but remember how many times it felt like the TV reality, with Adrian Grenier in the central role of the character of Vincent Chase, was always one step ahead of the actual show business practices. It wasn’t merely a perspective on the vibrant world of Hollywood as it was often backed by scripted movies and series that would later go on to do well in the chains. The most recent “why-didn’t-someone-think-of-that” is Ferrari, which effectively fills the gap between fiction and reality.
Vincent Chase transitioned from Ferrari to Mann the Director in “Ferrari”- A Fictional Narrative.
In the biopic on Enzo Ferrari directed by Frank Darabont, in a third season 2009 rush of Entourage, Vincent Chase goes all out as the son famous car owner, but only as himself in *Ferrari. * The audience gets to see how Chase prepares through the season’s finishing stage:
- He finally went wild and learned to drive as if he was the Son of Enzo Ferrari himself.
- Oh yes, he freely gave away Ferraris to his teammates.
- No, films always had hiccups and production delay was one of them.
Chase goes to Italy and in all likelihood the next season will pick up where this one left off with them starting to shoot the film.
While audiences never had the chance to see Ferrari, Entourage’s approach to a fictional film starring Al Pacino and Marion Cotillard was among the show’s most exhilarating what-ifs.
The Life of ‘Ferrari’ in Real Life
Piha waited until 2023 to rejoice when Ferrari arrived but not without necessary changes. Directed by Michael Mann (Heat, Last of the Mohicans), real Ferrari has Adam Driver in the shoes of Enzo Ferrari alongside Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley. The movie highlights another significant era in Ferraris life and focuses on the events that contributed to the epitome’s establishment.
While its not exactly a Frank Darabont movie featuring Al Pacino, the film about Ferrari is still impressive as it adds another noteworthy biopic project to Mann’s filmography.
Hollywood Through the Eyes of ‘Entourage’
The Ferrrari coincidence isn’t the first time Entourage appeared to be a step ahead of the industry in predicting the next big release. Other significant instances are:
- James Cameron’s Aquaman: Cameron may have never directed Aquaman in the actual world, but Jason Momoa did ultimately make waves with the character in the DCEU.
- Medellin: It also wouldn’t be a stretch to claim that Chase’s fictional movie about Pablo Escobar shares some similarities with Netflix’s Narcos.
- Martin Scorsese’s Gatsby: The imagined rendition by Scorsese came before Luhrmann’s 2013 The Great Gatsby film.
Will Hollywood Borrow Another Page of ‘Entourage’
showed a rare case of getting Hollywood and its future right. With Ferrari cruising in the cinemas, one can only hope and imagine what other projects of the show are yet to come.
For the time being, fans are watching the original one starring Ferrari and imagining what would have been the case if Darabont had portrayed it with Vincent Chase. It is true that Hollywood may not directly get its cue from Entourage, but there are other similarities that are simply too nice to disregard.
