A team of bra and girdle designers, who build the iconic spacesuit for Apollo space programme, are getting a movie on their life.

Warner Bros has hired Richard Cordiner to script 'Spacesuit'.

Based on the book by Nicholas de Monchaux, the film tells the true story of the team from Playtex who successfully built the iconic spacesuit that enabled Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin to walk on the moon, the Deadline reported.

This unusual team was led by a former TV repairman, a car mechanic, and their crew seamstresses as they build the spacesuit.
