The film is "Triumph AKA 40 Summers Ago". It is unclear what role the Australian brother duo will tackle in the biopic about the late "Sand Pebbles" actor, reported Ace Showbiz.

The project still hasn't found its helmer, but Brandon and Philip Murphy are set to pen the script, which revolves around McQueen's relationship with his stunt double Bud Elkins.

A rival McQueen biopic is also developed with Chris' "The Avengers" co-star, Jeremy Renner, taking the lead role.

The untitled biopic has Ivan Zacharias serving as the director and James Gray penning the script.

"Triumph AKA 40 Summers Ago" won't likely be the only new upcoming project for Chris Hemworth.

The "Thor" star, who's recently turned down the offer to star in "American Assassin", has been tapped to join Stephen Gaghan's high-end crime thriller project "Candy Store".

The project has attracted the interests of a number of A-listers, including Brad Pitt and Christoph Waltz. The likes of Denzel Washington, Jamie Foxx, Christian Bale, Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and Bradley Cooper are reportedly also circling the thriller.
