An MSN article said:
Die Hard star Bruce Willis is tipped to play Formula One commentator Murray Walker on the big screen.

According to newspaper reports, the Hollywood actor will play Murray in a forthcoming film about the life of Formula One champion Michael Schumacher.

In the film, the character is expected to narrate the tale as well as feature alongside Schumacher.

Willi Weber, a former Formula One champion and Schumacher's agent said: "Bruce Willis would certainly do Murray justice."

Weber added: "A Hollywood producer is interested. It would be called The Michael Schumacher Story, with him as the main actor."

Walker was the voice of the BBC's Formula One coverage for almost half a century until he switched when ITV won the rights.

Walker admitted to being a bit "shell-shocked" when he found out that Bruce Willis was going to play him in the film.

He said: "I had to make sure when looking at the calendar that it was April 25 not April 1."

He said jokingly: "I always regarded Bruce Willis as a mirror image of myself, don't you know...a much younger version though."

Please tell me this is a p*sstake....

I heard this on the news this morning and nearly choked - Schuey playing himself in the film, too....I can almost imagine the script

The Scene: Adelaide, city of churches. A capacity crowd watches with growing intensity at the absorbing battle between Damon Hill and Michael Schumacher. Suddenly, Michael's car appears to slow and Damon goes for the gap at the next corner. The two cars collide...

DH: "I'm really sorry Michael, I didn't realise that it was your corner, how silly could I be?"

MS: "It's OK Damon, you'll learn one day. I'm far too busy saving the lives of abandoned puppies to feel angry at your mistake. If you feel so bad, why not help out at my orphanage next weekend?"

DH: "Why, you're my hero"

I really cant belive it's not april 1st, lol.
Here's a tough casting question though. Who would play the talentless, over paid brother making a living off the back of the leading man's success?????

Also I put forward either Noel Galagher, Parker from TB or Burt from Seaseme ST to play the part of a sulky Spaniard.
