Biopics are a large part of the Hollywood film scene, and are typically some of the most remembered films come Oscar season. That makes it not very surprising that the biopic of John DeLorean, creator of the DMC-12 (most well-known for being the time machine in the BACK TO THE FUTURE trilogy), is looking to get a big name actor involved. It seems like they’ve got their pick made with George Clooney, who is reportedly in talks for the role, but will it work out?
The story of John DeLorean is full of ups and downs, as when his company filed for bankruptcy and he turned to a life of crime and began drug trafficking. This led to him being arrested in 1982. The film is said to chronicle the creation of the DMC-12, and is presumed to show his arrest also.
It seems like George Clooney would be a perfect fit for the role, if it does in fact go through. If this deal does indeed happen, then this film could quickly move up on many people’s most-anticipated lists. For a film like this, that has been stuck in development hell for a long time, the boost of a big star attachment could prove invaluable.
