James Corden in Paul Potts Biopic One Chance

James Corden is currently filming the Sondheim/Lapine movie Into the Woods where he is playing the baker alongside other stars including Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp.

He is due to appear in UK cinemas on 25th October playing the Britains Got Talent winner Paul Potts in the biopic One Life story of the singer’s life.

I think Corden bears more than passing resemblance to Potts, while Alexandra Roach plays his wife who encourages him to pursue his dream with Mackenzie Cook as his best friend and Julie Walters and Colm Meaney as his mother and father.

Potts rags to riches story goes from when worked in Carphone Warehouse where he makes the life-changing decision to enter for Britain's Got Talent which he wins. Simon Cowell is set for a cameo in the film, but Potts turned down an offer to appear in a cameo in the story of his own life.
