During the online convention Comic-Con directed by Joseph Kosinsky, he said that he had not shot the film "Ford against Ferrari" a few years before his appearance. In 2013, he took up the decreement of the Book of Hey Jay Byimi "at full speed." Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were approved to the main roles:
I will not argue that we were ready to start shooting, but the project reached the moment when I collected Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt for a joint scenario. Unfortunately, the project escaped from me, because we could not put the budget into the necessary numbers.
In 2018, James Mangold took the director's chair of the project on the confrontation between the American and European autocompany in the 60s of the last century. The role of the Carrol Shelby and the Males Ken Miles rider went to Matt Damonu and Christian Bail. Kosinsky speaks of the resulting film:
It seems to me that Mangold eventually made a terrific version of the film, and Christian Bale and Matt Damon perfectly coped with the roles. We watched the movie along with Tom, and both of us liked what we saw. Although it is strange - to see someone else makes the film that you yourself almost did. But they coped perfectly.
