A press conference announcing a movie based on great Gilles Villeneuve’s life was held today at Jacques Villeneuve’s Newtown restaurant in downtown Montreal. The movie, to be shot in English, French, and Italian, will be a human drama with a backdrop of Formula One racing. It will cover the life of Gilles Villeneuve, as seen through the eyes of his son Jacques Villeneuve. For many years, Jacques has always been reluctant to discuss about his father’s life and other personal matters. Over the past few years, especially during his sabbatical year, he has learned to feel more at ease with the situation. Driving his father’s old race-winning Ferrari F1, and wearing his old helmet, has helped him a lot. Gilles’ special relationship with Enzo Ferrari will obviously be discussed as well.
