There’s a scene in James Mangold’s Ford v Ferrari that had TIFF audiences almost rolling in the aisles. Tracy Letts as Henry Ford II is persuaded by Matt Damon’s Caroll Shelby to take Ford’s latest…
TRACY LETTS
: It wasn’t a one-take. In fact, we did many, many takes. It’s just that apparently James used the first take. I was not aware of that until after I saw it myself. It was a great scene on the page, and we all recognized it was a great scene. It’s a pressurized day because you know what you need to do with the scene and there wasn’t a lot of talking about it beforehand. I think the great thing that James did was provide the underpinnings to let the scene happen.
But then when you are around them, I have to say they’re really startling works of design. Not only the functional part of design of course, but also just the beauty. They are. You understand the appeal when you see them, like, “Oh, now I see why people get into this, because these are really cool.” DEADLINE: What sort of digging into Henry Ford II did you do? Did you meet with people or talk to any family?: I’m not a big research guy. I don’t do a lot of that stuff. I don’t find it very helpful, and the truth is that most of the Henry Ford stuff was on the page. The scenes were on the page. The true story of that drive, for instance, I think is that Ken Miles—not Carroll Shelby, but Ken Miles—took Ford around the track a couple of times and they had a great time.
DEADLINE: There’s this amazing speech that you give to the factory workers. Was that a favorite scene for you?: One of the nice things about Henry Ford was that he’s got these big set pieces. Those scenes are kind of laid out for you in a beautiful way. Again, they’re well written, and they have beginnings and middles and endings. That speech on the factory floor, that’s great theater, and I’ve done a lot of theater.
