CYCLING MOVIE SAVED FROM RUIN
The British cycling movie based on the life of GRAEME OBREE -
who became World Champion on a bike made from a washing machine - has been
saved from financial ruin by administrators.
THE FLYING SCOTSMAN, which stars JOHNNY LEE MILLER and BILLY
BOYD, looked to be doomed when its production company went bankrupt before
filming was completed.
But administrators Tenon Recovery stepped in and made sure the
$5.4 million (GBP3 million) film - which charts Obree's rise from obscurity
to sporting acclaim, before descending into a deep depression and attempting
suicide - is released in cinemas.
Spokesman KENNETH CRAIG says, "Our priority is to make sure The
Flying Scotsman is released."
