Hollywood will shoot a film about the infamous amateur yachtsman Donald Crowhurst, reports Deadline.com. The picture will tell about the adventurer's attempt to circumnavigate the world during the World Yacht Race in 1968.

It is known that the lead role will be played by actor Colin Firth, and will be directed by James Marsh, known for the 2014 film «Stephen HawkingUniverse» (The Theory of Everything). Filming will begin in early spring.

The script has already been written, we know that it is based on real events and will be quite credible. It will tell about the main character's quest to escape from debt by participating in a singles regatta and falsification of his real results.

A feature film has already been made based on the story, as well as several «documentaries».
