Producer David Foster has unveiled plans for "McQueen", a film based on the memoir " My Husband My Friend" penned by the late actor first wife-Nellie M. Toffel reports Variety.
Foster got his start in Hollywood as McQueen's publicist before segueing to a successful producing career bringing such films as McQueen's "The Getaway" to theaters
Writers Roderick Taylor & Bruce A. Taylor will adapt the book and will have complete access to the McQueen estate.
The story chronicles the relationship between McQueen and Toffel, which began in 1956 when Toffel was under contract at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer
The couple were married for more than 15 years and had two children and four grandchildren together.
The announcement comes just weeks after producers Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters launched plans for their own film on the life and career of McQueen.
McQueen is a true movie star in every way that you define the term. Now it becomes a foot race to see which of these pics lands in theaters first--but being 1st doesn't mean that flick is better Think back to Deep Impact vs Armageddon and my point is made.
