The remarkable life story of Coast to Coast AM creator Art Bell may soon be coming to the silver screen by way of a biopic starring Oscar nominee Paul Giamatti. The percolating film project, set to be directed by Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett of the acclaimed creative collective Radio Silence, has reportedly already drawn interest from Amazon and Warner Bros. Credited with spearheading the movie are producers Sophie Cassidy and Jeff Katz, who is a longtime fan of the late paranormal radio legend. While the biopic is still in a nascent stage, the prospects of the movie coming to fruition look promising with Giamatti being a particularly apt choice to play the beloved Bell as the actor co-hosts a podcast wherein he also explores all manner of high strangeness.
