The man who became a celebrity after he was mistaken for an internet expert and interviewed on BBC News 24 could see a film made about his story.
The incident involving Guy Goma is the basis for a film being planned by Alison Rosenzweig, who produced the 2002 Nicolas Cage film Windtalkers.
"If they want to do a movie, I don't mind talking with them," Mr Goma, 38, told the Associated Press news agency.
The unemployed computer technician had been at the BBC for a job interview.
But the graduate from the Congo gained worldwide attention in May after a mix-up saw him interviewed on air instead of Guy Kewney, editor of Newswireless.net.
BBC News 24 later brought Mr Goma back to the studio to talk about the incident.
"He's a fun, kind of internationally famous person that I think is an interesting source for movie material," Ms Rosenzweig said.
"We're developing the project, and hopefully we'll be able to set it up on a major studio."
She added that the amount of money Mr Goma could make would depend on the financing of the project.
