The man who became a celebrity after he was mistaken for an internet expert and interviewed on BBC News 24 could see a film made about his story. The incident involving Guy Goma is the basis for a film being planned by Alison Rosenzweig, who produced the 2002 Nicolas Cage film Windtalkers. "If they want to do a movie, I don't mind talking with them," Mr Goma, 38, told the Associated Press news agency. The unemployed computer technician had been at the BBC for a job interview. But the graduate from the Congo gained worldwide attention in May after a mix-up saw him interviewed on air instead of Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net. 'Kind of famous' BBC News 24 later brought Mr Goma back to the studio to talk about the incident. "He's a fun, kind of internationally famous person that I think is an interesting source for movie material," Ms Rosenzweig said. "We're developing the project, and hopefully we'll be able to set it up on a major studio." She added that the amount of money Mr Goma could make would depend on the financing of the project. surely there is beter ideas then this

Oh my god. They really will make a film about anything and anyone nowadays. I think the only place for that would be one of those "TV's Greatest Mishaps" type programs, where for 2 hours minor celebrities discuss with frightening enthusiasm, something that they vaguely remember from the telly. If they really make a film about it, I will laugh. Alot.

I was just thinking the same; I can't exactly see it being a white-knuckle thrills and spills sort of film, nor a side-splitting comedy, or even a vaguely interesting drama.
I'm waiting for the reaction when someone tries to make a film of the Menezes shooting...

They would peddle 'two raindrops on a window' if they thought they could make a buck.

They would peddle 'two raindrops on a window' if they thought they could make a buck. That would be a heart-rending biopic. It would chart the journey from cloud to evaporation, taking in all the thrills and spills (ahem) along the way. It's a surefire hit I tells ya.
