A dramatization of the life of Carlos Ghosn, the former Nissan/Renault CEO who escaped from arrest hidden in a music case, is in the works from Oscar-winner Alfonso Cuarón and This England’s Michael Winterbottom.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Monk star Tony Shalhoub is set to play Ghosn in six-part TV series Fall of the God of Cars, which comes from Fremantle, Anonymous Content, Richard Brown’s Passenger and Winterbottom’s Revolution Films.

One year later, he orchestrated an escape to Beirut, hidden in a music case on a private jet, and, with multiple warrants out for his arrest, he has remained there ever since.
The big-budget series was originally developed by Winterbottom, four-time Oscar winner Cuarón and Anonymous Content. Richard Brown is executive producer for Passenger and Fremantle, Melissa Parmenter is executive producer for Revolution Films, and Violaine Etienne is executive producer for Anonymous Content. David Levine and Garrett Kemble will oversee the project on behalf of Anonymous Content.
BAFTA-winner Winterbottom, who teamed with Passenger and Fremantle for last year’s Covid-19 drama This England, which starred Kenneth Branagh as Boris Johnson, described Ghosn as a “superstar of the car industry” and a “complex character.”
Fremantle Global Drama CEO Christian Vesper, who was recently promoted to helm the super-indie’s drama labels, hailed the “perfect visionary and creative partners to bring this fascinating and incredulous story to life.” Fremantle owns Passenger and has a first-look deal with
