Infinity Media – the people behind Capote – are sticking with a real-life story for their next film.

Mike The Bike is based on the life story of British motorcycle champ Mike Hailwood. He won nine world championships in the ‘60s before turning his throttle hand to car racing. That came to a painful end in 1974 when he crashed, receiving terrible leg injuries. But it doesn’t stop there – he returned to two-wheeled vehicles and grabbed another world championship in 1978.

There’s no writer, director or cast attached yet.
