The film will follow the Jamaican's path to the Rio Olympics in 2016, where he will bid to land 100 and 200 metres gold for a third straight Games.
The film will be produced by Fulwell 73 — directed by Gabe and Ben Turner and produced by Leo Pearlman — who were responsible for the likes of 'Class of 92' and 'One Direction: This is Us'.
Right people for the job
Bolt said: "I'm excited to start work on this project. When I met Gabe and Ben and heard about their previous work I felt they would be the right people to tell my story and capture my journey to Rio 2016. It's going to be a lot of fun."
Gabe Turner added: "Having explored the dynamic of brotherhood and team-mates in our previous film, this time around Ben and I had a real interest in looking at the life of an athlete competing in an individual sport.
