I don't have much interest in DeLorean - I've seen his story on Biography, though - but I will say the possibility of a movie about his life has probably just increased, due to his recent death.
shareAny automaker who allegedly financed his company by smuggling coke sure has the potential to be an interesting movie.
No cars, bu there's a heck of a movie to be made about the life and breakthrough inventions of Nikola Tesla. It's another weirdo role for Johnny Depp, possibly directed by Tim Burton.
Someone who enjoyed Tucker might also enjoy the TV movie about the Avro Arrow, "The Arrow". OK, it's a plane, not a car, and it happened in Canada in the '50s, but it's another ahead-of-its-time dream that didn't make it.

Perhaps a movie on William C. Durant(founder of G.M.). His rags to riches to rags life story reads like a movie.

Agreed. One thing you can't deny -- DeLorean had balls the size of watermelons!
All the universe . . . or nothingness. Which shall it be, Passworthy? Which shall it be?
dangus and yuckybear: looks like you must have missed David Bowie's portrayal of Tesla, in the very solid 2006 film, THE PRESTIGE (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0482571/). Very good film; with the Tesla character playing something of a second-tier supporting role in the plot. Although Bowie was far from brilliant, he received a disproportionate drubbing, owing to (IMHO) the rather exuberant cult following Tesla's legacy has gathered over the years.
