Music mogul Simon Cowell already has in development the movie Star Struck, a fictional version of his hit t.v. show X-Factor on the horizon and now comes word from Variety that he is spreading his weight even further in the film industry.

Cowell is now producing a movie based on the 2007 “Britain’s Got Talent” reality show winner Paul Potts who became an overnight sensation and best selling tenor (3 million copies of his first album Once Chance in less than year) after spending years as a salesman for mobile phones in Carphone Warehouse!

The movie is being setup at Paramount apparently from a studio pitch that was entirely made up of Youtube clips of Potts’ various performances. No writers or anything have been approached as yet, simply the life rights to Potts have been purchased at this point but the intent is there for a feature film somewhere down the road.

So guys I ask you. Does this video instantly make you buy the life rights to Potts with the intent of someday making a movie about him?
