His headmaster famously predicted that he'd either 'go to prison or become a millionaire' and in the end Virgin tycoon Richard Branson actually managed to achieve both these ends, serving time briefly at the beginning of his career for customs fraud. Now the story of Britain's best-known entrepreneur is set for the big screen. Film production company Crystal Sky are planning to fork out $50 million to make a big budget movie of Branson's life and to that end have just bought the film rights to his best-selling autobiography Losing My Virginity. The book takes in every aspect of Branson's self-made route to fame starting out with budgie breeding at school and culminating in his recent hot air balloon antics. Filming is expected to begin in Britain next year.
