Danny Boyle has a dream project, which is yet another biopic after his recent Steve Jobs. He has faced several major hurdles trying to get his biopic of David Bowie into production. The major hurdle has been securing the music rights from the music icon.
"It's a wonderful script, by Frank Cottrell Boyce. It's a sort of musical, but we couldn't get the music rights. I didn't want it to go down the route of Velvet Goldmine, which couldn't use the music, and used different music, and fictionalized it and stuff like that. So, we had to put it away for the moment."
