The Sun says that Simon Cowell is to make a film based on the X-Factor. He apparently told the tabloid that the movie will focus on two aspiring stars trying to make their way in the music industry, with one of them taking part in a talent contest similar to the TV show.
Cowell said: "I'm going to produce a film next year, not a million miles from Pop Idol or X Factor. It will feature two people trying to make a name for themselves in the industry and all the heartache that goes with it. One of the lead roles will be British, the other will be an international name. One of the main roles will be available for an ordinary person. We will hold auditions up and down the country to find a talented young actor or actress for the role."
