Senna film coming to a cinema near you?

Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, who starred in Desperado, Evita and The Mask of Zorro, has acquired the rights to make a film about F1 legend Ayrton Senna, according to reports in the British press.

The Observer claims that Banderas has been in close contact with Senna's family with a view to revealing new information about the former F1 ace and three times World Champion.

Senna's older sister Viviane said: "There are a lot of things people know. But there are also a lot of things that people don't know and that only the family can reveal. Antonio Banderas wanted us to collaborate and bring that side of things to light - all that Ayrton saw and felt, both on and off the track."

The film still in it's early stages plans to focus on the time leading up to Senna's fatal crash at Imola in 1994, and it is hoped that it could even reveal new information about the crash itself.

wow, I'm excited! Antonio Banderas also seem like a perfect actor to play Senna. Let's just hope this is not an "action" film a la "driven." I hope it will be more of a drama type film where chaaracter is more important than car crashes.
