    Netflix has optioned the rights to Phil Knight's bestselling memoir Shoe Dog and hired Jurassic World's Frank Marshall to produce a biopic on the Nike founder. The 2016 book tells the story of how Knight, starting with just $50 borrowed from his father, developed Nike into the top sneaker and sportswear brand in the world. Knight will co-produce the film, which will be adapted for the screen by The People v OJ Simpson: American Crime Story writers Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski.
