Steve McQueen - The Movie

Producers Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters are bringing a Steve McQueen biopic to the bigscreen.

The pair have acquired the rights to Marshall Terrill's biography "Steve McQueen: Portrait of an American Rebel." Project will likely land at Paramount, where Cerenzie-Peters Prods. has a first-look deal.

Project will primarily chronicle McQueen's Hollywood career, which began in 1956 when the Indiana native got his break in the pic "Somebody Up There Likes Me."

Cerenzie and Peters are producing alongside Brian Oliver and Chuck Rock of Arthaus Prods.

Tome, which was published in paperback in October, also delves into McQueen's offscreen penchant for motorcycles, fast cars and drugs. Project will examine his three marriages, including his stormy relationship with Ali McGraw, as well as his battle against lung cancer.

Cerenzie has secured the cooperation of McQueen's widow, Barbara Minty. Cerenzie and Peters are close to attaching a director to the project.

Cerenzie, who most recently produced the Philip Seymour Hoffman starrer "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead," has several films set up with Peters including the crime drama "Black Mass," which is also being produced by Arthaus.

Peters ("How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days") is producing "The Friday Night Knitting Club" at Universal with Julia Roberts attached to star.

I can't imagine any actor having the charisma McQueen had on screen.
