The movie adaptation of Go Like Hell already has A-lister Tom Cruise in the fold and if recent reports are accurate, Cruise is set to be joined by another Hollywood heavyweight: Brad Pitt.

The two last co-starred in the 1994 movie Interview with a Vampire and the potential co-starring role will ignite a move that's already being billed as a blockbuster adaptation of the A.J. Baime book that chronicled the rivalry between Ford->ke31 and Ferrari->ke252 during their glory years at Le Mans->ke1591.

It's already been reported that Cruise will be playing the role of Carroll Shelby in the movie with Joseph Kosinski sitting in the director's chair. There's been no mention of what role Pitt will play in the movie but if it's any indication, it won't come as a surprise if he stars as Ferrari's very own patriarch, Enzo Ferrari.

It'll be very interesting to see how the cast for Go Like Hell builds up. But with Cruise and possibly Pitt on board, it's going to be one heck of a blockbuster.

Go Like Hell: Ford, Ferrari and Their Battle for Speed and Glory at Le Mans

By the early 1960s, Ford Motor Company, built to bring automobile transportation to the masses, was falling behind. Baby boomers were taking to the roads in droves, looking for speed not safety, style not comfort, and Ford didn’t offer what these young drivers wanted. Meanwhile, Enzo Ferrari lorded over the European racing scene, crafting beautiful, fast sports cars that epitomized style.

Baime tells the remarkable story of how Henry Ford II, with the help of a young visionary named Lee Iacocca and a former racing champion turned engineer named Carroll Shelby, concocted a scheme to reinvent the Ford company. They would enter the high-stakes world of European car racing, where an adventurous few threw safety and sanity to the wind. They would design, build, and race a car that could beat Ferrari at his own game, at the most prestigious and dangerous race in the world, the 24 Hours of LeMans.

Go Like Hell transports readers to a golden era in racing when Ford’s innovative strategy led to victories on the track and renewed respect for the American automobile.
