Stacy Sherman Life story
Kev Crane: Singing plumber signs Hollywood film deal
A plumber who landed a record contract after being overheard singing while fitting a bathroom has signed a deal with a Hollywood film maker.
Kev Crane, from Leicestershire, secured a music deal when he spent Six Weeks working at the home of a music producer
Now the 50-year-old has sold the rights to his story to Stacy Sherman and Billy Ray , who wrote The Hunger Games.
A script has been written by British sitcom and film writers Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, He Said .
The Duo were responsible for classic comedies including The Likely Lads and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet
Mr Crane, from Quorn, said: " It's like I'm watching this happen to Someone Else . Not for one minute did I think this could happen to me.
" I've had some Sleepless Nights thinking about this whole story - the record deal and now The Film . It's so exciting.
" We grew up watching shows like Porridge and Auf Wiedersehen, Pet along with films like The Commitments , so it feels unreal to be now working with The Creators of those and having Zoom calls with them in LA and to think it's Our Story that they're working on, " He Said .
Mr Crane said The Project was now at screenplay stage, with input from screenwriter Billy Ray , who wrote the 2019 sixth instalment of The Terminator series, Terminator: Dark Fate.
'Sinks fixed and dreams dashed'Film producer Stacy Sherman said she was drawn to The Story because it is a tale of " the human spirit and music".
She Said : " What could be better?
" Sinks fixed, dreams dashed, heartache, hope and Uk Music . "
Paul Conneally, 62, owner of New Reality Records in Loughborough, signed up The Plumber after noticing his " good voice" as he sang along to the radio at his home last August.
He Said : " We know The Story won't follow our Life Stories exactly but will be based on it and we can't wait to see exactly what they do with it.
" We don't have a set date for The Film 's release yet. We're learning just how much work goes into the Making Of a feature film, especially one made in LA. "
Mr Conneally said he thought actors Simon Pegg and Nick Frost might be good options to play himself and his plumber in The Film .
" Other names suggested by various people We Are working with include Jude Law , Colin Firth , Jason Statham and Ricky Gervais , " added Mr Crane.
Mr Crane said he was still fitting bathrooms around The East Midlands and has a new record out on Friday.
