Ford v Ferrari is written by Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth and Jason Keller and produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, and James Mangold. It co-stars Jon Bernthal, Caitriona Balfe, Tracy Letts, Josh Lucas, Noah Jupe, Remo Girone, Ray McKinnon

20th Century Fox has Ford v Ferrari in the pole position of November 15th and will be distributed by Walt Disney Studios.
