A Fischer flick already?
Kevin Macdonald, who helmed last years impressive The Last King of Scotland has been tapped to direct Bobby Fischer Goes To War which would center on the former 15-year old Chess Prodigy who subsequently went on to be batshit crazy.

Chess Master Bobby Fischer dies at 64.
Bobby Fischer, who was immortalized by the moving Searching For Bobby Fischer, where an American boy refuses to become what Bobby Fischer was, a reclusive unlikable person.
Back in 1992 Fischer traveled to Belgrade to face Spassky and his passport was revoked, yet he still traveled on it until 2004 when he was detained by Japan for nine months. Iceland actually offered him a place to live, which he accepted and lived until his death.
It's a very weird story, Fischer was a very strange guy. He went on to be the most prolific chess player in history, but was just a whiny little brat.
