Plan B Listen Back: Caitriona Balfe On Working With Christian Bale in Le Mans 66

Caitriona Balfe With names like Christian Bale, Matt Damon, director James Mangold, and our very own Caitriona Balfe attached to Le Mans 66 (Ford v Ferrari in the US), you know it's not going to be just a car racing film. Based on a true story, this film tells of Ford’s desire to become a major player in the car world, to be seen as sexy and sleek like the famous Ferrari. When partnering with Enzo Ferrari isn’t an option, Henry Ford II decides to have his American motor company build the fastest car in the world and beat the Italians at their own game, at Le Mans 1966.   View this post on Instagram   TWO WEEKS!!!!!!!
