Amazon MGM Studios Secures 'American Speed' with Tom Holland and Austin Butler

The film, based on the true story of the Whittington brothers and the 1980s IMSA scandal, will be produced by Charles Roven.

Tom Holland and Austin Butler star as racecar-driving brothers in 'American Speed,' a new film acquired by Amazon MGM Studios.
The movie is inspired by the real-life Whittington brothers, known for their involvement in a major racing and financial scandal in the 1980s.
Charles Roven, known for producing 'Oppenheimer,' will produce the film under Atlas Entertainment, with Dan Wiedenhaupt writing the script.
The 1980s IMSA scandal involved racecar drivers financing their activities through illegal means, such as drug smuggling and money laundering.
Both Holland and Butler have had busy years, with Holland set to reprise his role as Spider-Man and Butler starring in several high-profile films.
