Jeremy Renner will star in and produce the racecar drama “Slingshot” at Paramount Pictures and his production company The Combine says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story follows the real-life adventures of Bill Caswell, a guy who won the World Rally Championships held in Mexico using a BMW he bought off Craig’s List for $500. Don Handfield will pen the screenplay and also produce.
Renner and Handfield are also at work on a Steve McQueen biopic, while the actor himself is currently shooting “The Avengers” before segueing into “The Bourne Legacy”.
