THE Melbourne boy who won hearts around the world with his inspirational death-bed YouTube video looks set to inspire a Hollywood movie.
Shaun Wilson-Miller's father, Cameron, says his son's story is in the process of becoming a multi-million-dollar movie directed by Rod Hardy, who also made December Boys starring Daniel Radcliffe.
Part drama and part fantasy, Mr Miller said the film would be based on An Awesome Ride, the autobiography the 17-year-old wrote before his death from heart disease in May.
Mr Miller plans to take the script to Cannes to market it to studio heads.
Mr Miller said he hoped Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road) would play his son.
The actor, who has just wrapped shooting Romeo and Juliet, went to primary school with Shaun.
"I have already had interest from ... major studios who've likened Shaun's story to Shine.
"This movie will let Shaun live out some of his dreams."
