Producers Michael Cerenzie and Christine Peters have begun developing a Steve McQueen biopic, reports Variety.

Cerenzie and Peters have acquired the rights to Marshall Terrill's biography of the actor Steve McQueen: Portrait Of An American Rebel. The film will focus on McQueen's movie career rather than his pre-fame life. McQueen's widow Barbara Minty is also involved with the project.

McQueen's classic films include The Great Escape, The Magnificent Seven, Bullitt and The Thomas Crown Affair. He married three times, most famously to his Getaway co-star Ali McGraw, and died from lung cancer aged 50.

They are currently hunting for a studio and director for the project.
