Last autumn saw the release of one of the most anticipated GAA books in many a year - Until Victory Always, a memoir by Jim McGuinness.
It detailed his time as Donegal manager, the winning of Ulster titles and the All-Ireland victory in 2012.
The book also contained accounts of personal tragedy. In 1985, McGuinness, at the age of just 12, lost his brother Charles - someone he had looked up to. 13 years later, further tragedy followed with the death of his brother Mark in a car accident.
The award-winning book was written along with Irish Times journalist Keith Duggan.
Now, according to the Sunday World, the book is being turned into a feature film.
Kirsten Sheridan, daughter of director Jim Sheridan, is said to be penning a script. She was nominated, along with her father and sister, for a Best Original Screenplay Oscar for In America in 2004.
The film is apparently in the early stages of development by Irish company Fastnet Films.
The question of who would play McGuinnes is an interesting one. He is a complex and intriguing character. Known for his strict regime as Donegal manager, he was no angel as a player. During the wild days of Donegal football, McGuinness was one of the ring leaders.
Michael Fassbender would, perhaps, be an interesting choice.
