Alex Pettyfer to play racing driver James Hunt in new biopic
Alex Pettyfer will play racing driver James Hunt in a new biopic.
DreamWorks are adaptating the Tom Rubython book Shunt: The Story Of James Hunt into a feature.
Hunt was one of the leading Formula One drivers of the 1970s. He was also known for his playboy status off the track, and went on to become a commentator for the sport.
However, he suffered from alcoholism, depression and financial issues in later life, and passed away in 1993.
Pettyfer will next star in the forthcoming I Am Number Four.
