Simon Cowell to produce Paul Potts film

According to Variety magazine, Paramount Pictures will develop a feature film based on the overnight success story of Paul Potts, the tenor who sold cell phones until he won ITV's "Britain's Got Talent" in 2007.

Simon Cowell, who created the show and as a judge was stunned by Potts' prowess, will produce the film with Relevant Entertainment's Michael Menchel and Steve Whitney.

Studio acquired life rights from Potts, who quickly recorded a debut album, "One Chance," that sold 3 million copies. He also is headlining 65 concert dates in 13 countries.
