Hollywood hero tipped to play bumbling F1 commentator in Michael Schumacher biopic

If you believe the Dail Star (yes, it’s a big “if”), then Bruce Willis could be set to play Murray Walker in a movie of Michael Schumacher’s life – it ranks as one of the most unlikely pieces of movie casting since Denise Richards played a nuclear physicist in 007 romp “The World is Not Enough”.

In the film, Walker’s character is expected to narrate the tale as well as star alongside Schumi. Willi Weber, Schumacher’s agent, said: “Bruce Willis would certainly do Murray justice.”

Yes, the sort of justice that is dished out with an Uzi, whilst wearing a blood-stained vest.

Even more incredibly, the leading-man role of Schumacher is set to be played by… Schumi himself! What fresh madness is this? Even Walker seemed bemused when told about the story: “I had to make sure when looking at the calendar that it was April 25 not April 1.”
