17th July 2003: The Perfect Mile Update:
The team behind Seabiscuit (Universal, Spyglass and Kennedy-Marshall)
have
joined forces to option The Perfect Mile, a book proposal by
author Neal
Bascomb about the race among the world's three premiere runners
to be first
to complete the mile in under four minutes. Frank Marshall,
an avid runner
who is also a member of the U.S. Olympic Committee, will direct
the film.
Bruce McKenna will write the script. The film will focus on
the efforts of
Oxford medical student Roger Bannister, Australian miler John
Landy and
publicity-hungry American runner Wes Santee to reach a sporting
milestone as
significant as the scaling of Mount Everest by Edmund Hillary.
The trio had
wildly different methods and personalities. The winner completed
the mile in
3:59:4 in 1954.
