Talent star approached to make life story movie

Film-It Productions' Darla Rae says Susan Boyle has been approached about a film, though the company's website suggests a role in one of its films rather than a biopic.

That Susan Boyle, the lady whose appearance on 'Britain's Got Talent' has caused such a stir, has reportedly been approached about making a film about her life story. Darla Rae of US company Film-It Productions is quoted as saying: "When Susan stepped on to the stage and began to sing, tears welled up in my eyes. As I watched her, I felt a connection and realised she would be perfect for one of my films".

However, Film-It's website is running a news story that says Boyle has been offered a role in one of the company's films, not a film to herself. But perhaps both are in the pipeline, who knows?

Anyway, according to reports, Simon Cowell is all over it and the potential to make himself more cash. Some source or insider or something is quoted as saying this: "Simon can see the business potential in Susan. He's not only seeing album deals in the UK and the States but also movie and merchandising. But he would want the movie to be based around the 'Britain's Got Talent' brand rather than Susan's life. It would follow her dream of getting on the show and then, of course, she would have to win".
