Ronnie O'Sullivan wants the new documentary on his life to emulate the famous film on Ayrton Senna.
The former Brazilian F1 driver, who won three world titles, suffered a tragic crash at the San Marino Grand Prix in 1994 when driving for Williams. His legacy remains strong in the sport though, with Lewis Hamilton paying tribute to 'his idol' after winning in Sao Paulo last year.
In 2010, a film was released on his life, reliving the drama of his track career and notorious rivalry with Alain Prost. It has since won six awards, including two Bafta's in the 'Best Editing' and 'Best Documentary' categories.
Like Senna, O'Sullivan, 46, is considered one of the greats of his sport. He holds the record for the most Triple Crown titles with 20, and also won more ranking tournaments than any other player in history.
He's currently bidding for a seventh crown at The Crucible, with his second round match due on Friday. Should be prevail, he'll draw level in the record books with Stephen Hendry for the most World Championship wins.
Regardless, an all-access documentary will soon air on his life. And given his reputation as one of the great characters of the game, it's likely to be received with intrigue from sporting fans.
And 'The Rocket' has now revealed that the film on Senna, who was 34 when he died, has inspired him to leave no stone unturned. He told the Daily Mail : "I told them [the producers], 'You've got as much access as you need. If we're going to do it let's do it bloody good.'
'It was quite inspiring to watch the Senna film. It was more about his human side. He was very focused on being the best. A born winner. I am not like that. I am more artistic."
But despite the contrast in personalities, O'Sullivan has long considered Senna a hero of his: "We are very different characters so it's quite weird how I am drawn towards someone who is the opposite of me, but I loved him," he added.
O'Sullivan has already made headlines in Sheffield this month, despite his tournament only being one match old. He recovered from 3-0 down to win 10-5, making three century breaks along the way.
However, during the 13th frame, while visibly annoyed at missing a routine black off the spot, O'Sullivan made a lewd gesture which was noticed by some viewers. He may now be fined for his actions.
The six-time winner will now face Mark Allen on Friday. The Northern Ireland Open winner saw off Scott Donaldson 10-6 on Monday in his own first round clash.
