Infinity revs up the bike

By M&C News Mar 2, 2006, 6:37 GMT

Infinity Media has reved up development on a flick based on the life of British motorcyle champion Mike Hailwood.

'Mike the Bike' will be produced by Infinity's Michael Ohoven with script penned by Paul Pender, who obtained rights from Hailwood's widow, Pauline.

Hailwood won nine motorcycle world championships in the 1960s, then turned to motor racing and saw his career ended in 1974 when he crashed in Germany. Though disabled by his leg injuries, he returned to race motorcycles and won the world championship in 1978.

Infinity and Pender last teamed on 'Evelyn',' which Pender also wrote. That film starred Pierce Brosnan as a man fighting to get his kids out of an orphanage.

No release schedule has been announced.
