Sept. 1 (UPI) -- The film Ferrari kicked off the 80th Venice Film Festival.

Directed by Michael Mann, the film stars Adam Driver as race car driver Enzo Ferrari.

Based on the biography Enzo Ferrari: The Man and the Machine, written by Brock Yates, the movie follows the life and career of the famous race car driver.

Co-stars include Patrick Dempsey -- who was in attendance at the festival -- Penélope Cruz, Shailene Woodley, Gabriel Leone, Sarah Gadon, Giuseppe Bonifati and Jack O'Connell.

SAG-AFTRA gave the cast of Ferrari an interim agreement in August so the stars could promote the film at festivals. The film opens in theaters on Dec. 25.
