Her life story has officially been acquired by Fox Searchlight, which aims to create a biopic about the English singer.
The studio plans to mix Boyle's story and "I Dreamed a Dream" into a re-imagined film version of the musical, the Deadline reported.
Fox Searchlight's Lucas Webb said that the movie is designed to be "a sensitive and honest biopic with music." The project still hasn't locked its director and scribe, but it will be the studio's "front and center".
It is unclear if Boyle will be directly involved in the untitled story. The singer once said that she wanted George Clooney to star as her manager should a studio make a movie about her. "It's a wishful thinking... But it's Hollywood... anything can happen," she had said.
Boyle was raised in a working class town in northern Scotland. She became a YouTube sensation after she auditioned for "Britain's Got Talent" in 2009, where she sang the famous "Les Miserables" lament "I Dreamed a Dream".
