Variety has reported that Columbia Pictures is acquiring screen rights to “The Limit”, and they want Tobey Maguire to star in it. “The limit” is a race car story based on Michael Cannell’s upcoming novel.Tony Peckham will be writing it. If Columbia is able to acquire the rights to it, they want Tobey Maguire to play the character of Phil Hill who raced against Wolfgang von Trips in the 1961 Drivers Championships. The two characters were also good friends and Ferrari Teammates.

Veteran Jenno Topping will produce the film along with Maguire, Cathy Schulman, and Scarlett Lacey who is with Mandalay Pictures.

So it looks like Peter Parker will get to jump into a Ferrari for his next gig.
