It would appear that director Joseph Kosinski and star Tom Cruise got along famously while making the film Oblivion, the sci-fi flick that hit theaters earlier this year, as the duo are already looking to reunite on a new project. The Wrap is reporting that both the star and the filmmaker are in negotiations to make Go Like Hell, an adaptation of A.J. Baime’s book “Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari, and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans."
Based on true events that occurred in the early 1960s, the film will tell the story of how Henry Ford II teamed up with Lee Iacocca and former racing car champion Carroll Shelby to help get the Ford Motor Company back into the sports car marketplace. Together they decide that the best way to do this would be to build and race a car in The 24 Hours of Le Mans, one of the most dangerous and prestigious races in the world. This scheme, however, gets the attention of the folks over at Ferrari and motivated a great rivalry.
