Australia’s leading independent cinema group, Palace Cinemas, is set to unveil its latest gem, Palace Penny Lane Cinema in Moonee Ponds, with the Australian premiere of Michael Mann’s riveting film, Ferrari, on December 20.
Puckle Street is about to be draped in red as the Palace Penny Lane Cinema precinct transforms into a luxury Ferrari showcase, welcoming guests with a breathtaking lineup of iconic cars for the grand opening event.
Behind the wheel is Ben Zeccola, CEO of Palace Cinemas, who will be joined on the red carpet by special guest Danny Pearson MP, Minister for Transport Infrastructure, Minister for the Suburban Rail Loop, Minister for WorkSafe & the TAC, and Assistant Treasurer at the Victorian Government, to cut the ribbon and declare Palace Penny Lane Cinema officially open.

Ferrari starring Adam Driver, Penélope Cruz and Shailene Woodley is set during the summer of 1957. Behind the spectacle and danger of 1950’s Formula 1, ex-racer, Enzo Ferrari, is in crisis. Bankruptcy stalks the company he and his wife, Laura, built from nothing ten years earlier. Their tempestuous marriage struggles with the mourning for their one son. Ferrari struggles with the acknowledgement of another. His drivers’ lust to win pushes them out to the edge. He wagers all in a roll of the dice on one race, the treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy, the iconic Mille Miglia.
