Idris Elba has revealed to IGN UK that he is working on getting the planned Michael Jordan biopic up and running.

“Michael is a very private guy, but we’re working at it slowly. The film that I’m trying to make isn’t about the actual basketball, it’s about the business” he said during the press junket for the upcoming thriller RocknRolla.

He adds that while he isn’t sure whether he’s going to star in the film, but he intends on directing the project.
