Jamie has been attached to this project since 2014, but little movement has been made in production. However, when speaking to Hollywood producer Mark Birnbaum, Jamie said the film will be moving forward.
“It’s a definitive yes,” he told Mark. “Doing biographies is a tough thing. Sometimes it takes 20 years to get it done but we officially got the real ball rolling,” he said. “I can’t wait show people what it is.”
There isn’t a release date as of yet but when it comes out, it should be a good one.
