angelophile | Movie deal for the "wrong man"

Accidental star Guy Goma who made an impromptu appearance on BBC News 24 (view video) has struck a six-figure deal with a Hollywood producer to make a film about the incident. Producer Allison Rosenzweig, who has worked with A-list stars including Nicholas Cage and Christian Slater said: “He’s a fun, internationally famous person who is an interesting source for movie material.”

The cab driver was mistakenly interviewed on a live BBC program in May after a mix-up at the studio led his being thrust on air live as an expert on Internet music downloads. The BBC had intended to interview computer expert Guy Kewney, but after a mistake at a reception desk, employees brought Goma to the studio. Goma, who had been waiting in a reception area found himself on air and answering questions.
