Picabo Street Biopic Optioned
By James Wray Dec 17, 2004, 12:10 GMT
Director Jon Amiel and producer David Foster are to turn the life of Olympic downhill skier Picabo Street into a movie.
They are currently looking to hire a writer and will then take the project to studios. Street will be involved in drafting her remarkable story for the screen. It's an underdog story that Amiel and Foster are calling Skibiscuit.
Street won the gold medal at the 1998 Olympics in Nagano, Japan, but shattered her leg into pieces just weeks after the Games. While doctors predicted she would never walk again, Street spent four years retraining herself to walk and ski again for the US Olympic team.
