Wright enjoyed a remarkable rise from amateur football to England, Arsenal and Crystal Palace legend status. Only Thierry Henry has scored more goals for the Gunners, while Wright was named the Eagles' player of the century.
#Merky Films have confirmed their plan for the official biopic, which has been written and will be directed by Tom Wilton (Muscle, Bump, A Love Letter to M).
"Despite this spark of hope, by his teens, Ian’s dreams of becoming a footballer are falling apart as rejection, oppression, and his own internal rage take their toll. By the time he is in his early twenties, Ian’s hope has faded, not least because he strives to be the parent he never had.
Wright said: "Telling my story in full for the first time feels surreal and, in some ways, a long time coming. There are parts of my life that will be familiar because they’ve been talked about over the years, but this film is the first time we’re bringing it all together.
"My story is one that truly shows how the company you keep can break you down and build you up. There are hard-hitting moments but in the end I want it to give people hope and joy."
Stormzy is part of the producing team, which also includes Academy Award-nominated producer Sara McFarlane (A Love Letter to M, Red White and Blue, Love Brooklyn) for Essential Viewing, Stephen Tottingham for Serpentine Creative, and Akua Agyemfra for #Merky Films.
The film will be cast by Carolyn McLeod and Matt Sheppard (Boiling Point), while discussions are under way with studios and distributors.
