Lock Stock the F@@@ing Lot!!!!!!!

In his autobiography, McLean recounts that various film studios had expressed an interest in making a film based on his life and career in unlicensed boxing. McLean wanted Craig Fairbrass to portray him as he had known the actor for some time and also considered that Fairbrass resembled himself as a younger man. McLean traveled to Hollywood, California, to discuss the matter with film studio executives, but their preference for Sylvester Stallone for the part caused McLean to discontinue negotiations. Meanwhile, British rugby star Lawrence Dallaglio, actor Ray Winstone and pop star Phil Collins also showed interest in the role.[citation needed] However, the plan suffered funding problems. One supposed film promoter, later found to have been a conman, took more than a million pounds from McLean and disappeared. The plan has been in uncertain hiatus since McLean's death. World Wrestling Entertainment wrestler William Regal said in a television interview that he had been offered the role, but this has never come to fruition.
