Legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese recently signed on to produce "Silver Ghost,' a movie about the lives and love affairs of Henry Royce and Charles Rolls. The film will focus on both the founding of the luxurious Rolls-Royce brand and a love affair between a very special Rolls-Royce model and Lord Montagu of Beaulieu, according to The Press Association.<\/p>\n
Lord Montagu was heavily involved in the automotive world during his time in Parliament in the early 1900s. His mistress, Eleanor Thornton, is tied to the Rolls-Royce brand because she is the woman upon whom the brand's "Spirit of Ecstasy" emblem was based, Top Gear reports.<\/p>\n

"When I read the story of 'Silver Ghost,' I was mesmerized," Scorsese said of his initial interest in the movie. "I immediately thought this is a picture that has to be made. And when I was asked to come aboard as a producer alongside Richard Attenborough and Anthony Haas, I didn't hesitate for a moment."<\/p>\n
Scorsese, who has directed films such as "Hugo," "The Departed," "Taxi Driver" and "Goodfellas", has a knack for creating award-winning films that are well-crafted and beautiful. Actress Kiera Knightley's mother Sharman MacDonald wrote the screenplay for the movie, which has AutoBlog hoping her daughter will be cast as the leading lady.<\/p>\n
