Daniel Radcliffe to play British Olympic medalist

The film is being directed by James Watkins,who directed Radcliffe in horror movie ‘Woman In Black’.

The story is about Coe’s world-famous rivalry with fellow athlete Steve Ovett in the years leading up to the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games.

‘Gold’ is based on the acclaimed book ‘The Perfect Distance’ by Pat Butcher,who also acts as a consultant on the project.
