Christian Bale is in it to win it as racing driver Ken Miles in Le Mans ’66 things you need to know about… 1 It’s a biographical action drama... • Proving that fact is indeed as compelling as fiction, Le Mans ’66 is based on the true story of the battle for victory between Ford and Ferrari at the 1966 24 Hours of Le Mans car race. 2 Le Mans ’66 ...with an all-star cast... • Fresh from his Oscar nom for Vice, Christian Bale stars as Ken Miles, the brilliant Brit tasked with winning the race for Ford. Matt Damon, meanwhile, is Carroll Shelby, the design virtuoso who builds his car. 3 ...and a fearless director • Unfamiliar with James Mangold? Then you really should swot up as he’s directed some truly magnificent films including Girl, Interrupted, Walk the Line and Logan. Such pedigree bodes well indeed. 4 Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were originally supposed to star • Had they done so, it would have been their first reteaming since 1994’s Interview with the Vampire. But budget issues meant it never happened. 5 Le Mans ’66 is considered one of the greatest races in history • And if you’ve seen the trailer, you’ll know that this movie definitely goes all out to live up to the reality. Who wins? Wait and see... Le Mans ’66 races into cinemas from 15 November One to watch Ana de Armas We love a murder mystery, especially one with an all-star cast, and Rian Johnson’s Knives Out has a line-up to kill for. Acting shiftily alongside the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis and Chris Evans is Ana de Armas, who you may recognise from Blade Runner 2049 (she played the hologram Joi). With Bond 25 next up, the Cuban-Spanish actress is definitely ‘carving’ a path to superstardom. Whodunnit? Find out from Friday 29 November his Superman cape, the Mission: Impossible – Fallout star will play Sherlock Holmes in the upcoming Enola Holmes @ODEON @odeoncinemas @ODEONCinemas odeon.co.uk 31 Watch the trailer
