This time around though Leclerc is the star, Monaco is the location and he really drove a Ferrari – the new SF90 Stradale, the brand’s first production hybrid supercar. And, he didn’t have to break the law, with Monaco allowing its streets to be used during the coronavirus lockdown.
Charles Leclerc with director Claude Lelouch and co-star Rebecca Blanc-Lelouch
Unlike the single-camera, one-take version of the original (Lelouch reportedly had approximately nine-minutes of unused film stock from a previous movie to capture his Parisian run), this new film used 17 cameras placed around the streets and on the car to capture the flat-out blast around grand prix racing’s most famous street circuit.
And in a nice nod to the original, Leclerc’s co-star in the film is Rebecca Blanc-Lelouch; the grand-daughter of Lelouch and Friden from their relationship captured in the original movie.
Check out the full film below.
