Steve McQueen Biopic In The Works

14 January 2009 12:23 PM, PST | ScreenRant.com | See recent Screen Rant news »

There are actors and then there are those who transcend that label to become cinematic icons. And I don’t think anyone would disagree that Steve McQueen was, and still is, one of those icons–one loved by film fans across the globe.

Well, it appears that in further recognition of McQueen’s impact on the world of film, a biopic about his life is in the works, which is to be based on the 1993 biography written by Marshall Terill, Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel.

 

The film will be produced by Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters, who both acquired the rights to make it, alongside Brian Oliver and Chuck Rock of Arthaus Productions.

The project will mainly concentrate on McQueen’s Hollywood career, which started in 1956 with Somebody Up There Likes Me, but the biography also includes details of his off-screen inclinations towards motorbikes, fast-cars and drugs. »

A biopic is in the works for Steve “The King of Cool” McQueen, star of The Magnificent Seven, The Great Escape, Bullitt, The Cincinnati Kid, The Getaway and The Towering Inferno.

According to the trades, the film will primarily chronicle McQueen's Hollywood career, which began in 1956 when the Indiana native got his break in the film Somebody Up There Likes Me.
