http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/movies/a94517/f1-star-asked-to-play-himself-in-movie.html Not exactly the most trustworthy of sources, but I though some of you may find this of interest. So, other than the man himself, who would be best to play Michael in this movie?
I'd rather watch a documentary about him and his career... if he's going to play himself anyway, I'd rather watch real clips, then reenactments.. EDIT: I meant, "rather than", not "then"
Then we could all see the real Shumi and he can really let his personallity shine through. Great driver, but I do not want to see him acting and playing himself. Unless, Ferrari decides to give him a 3rd car in '09 so they can shoot the racing footage and he can vie for the . . . aw forget it, we would still have to see him act.
The way I interpret this news is: Some Hollywood guy thinks it might be a great idea to make a movie on Schumi and asked his manager if Michael wanted to have 'his' role. Period. Nothing more. The way it is written ("a movie is in the works") suggests that there's far more behind it than the hot air it actually is.
