Captain Sir Tom Moore will have a film made about his life, following a fierce bidding war over rights to his story

The film will be made by Fred Films and Powder Keg Pictures, whose previous credits include Fisherman's Friends, about the Cornish fishermen who signed a record deal, and Finding Your Feet, about a middle-aged woman finding freedom through dance.

Writers/producers Nick Moorcroft and Meg Leonard said in a joint statement:"This is a story about the power of the human spirit and Captain Sir Tom personifies that. "We are honoured to be telling this unique and inspiring story and are excited about audiences getting to know the man behind the headlines."Producer James Spring said:"At a time of fear and uncertainty 161 countries around the world embraced the beacon of hope that Captain Sir Tom provided. We are privileged that Tom and his family have entrusted us to tell their story."

Captain Sir Tom's daughter Hannah Ingram-Moore said:"We received so many offers but what it boiled down to was trust.
