ASCARI'S courting of the film industry has resulted in a successful liaison – the KZ1 is to feature in a Hollywood remake of The Persuaders. The ’70s TV series starred Roger Moore and Tony Curtis as millionaire crime fighters who, back then, drove an Aston Martin DBS and a Ferrari Dino respectively. No word yet on who’ll fill Moore and Curtis’s shoes, but filming is expected to start in early 2007.
