Cool!

Mangold is no fan of CG for the sake of it. He, after all, is the person who famously railed against the notion of a "city-block destroying CG fuckathon" in his script for Logan. And while there are visual effects aplenty in Le Mans '66, they’re mainly to help conjure a sense of period, or to extend the track on which Bale, Damon, and the coterie of top drivers Mangold assembled for the film, strutted their funky stuff. And strut it they did. "We had a litany of vehicles, we got out on tracks, and we raced 'em," says Mangold. "Christian drove. Matt drove. The entirety of the races are analogue. It’s really physical, which was the whole point for me. There is still something unique about that which is real."
