Tony Blair is in talks with the Oscar-winning producer about a deal to make a documentary about his life.

Blair's staff reportedly met with producer James Gay-Rees - whose film, Amy, about the life of singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, won the Best Documentary Academy Award last year - at his offices in London before Christmas.

Gay-Rees also produced the 2011 documentary Senna, about the life and death of the Brazilian Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna.

A source told The Telegraph: 'Blair's people met with James Gay-Rees. It got to the stage of Blair's people saying what about making a documentary around Tony. They were really keen on the idea. It just ticks all the boxes.

'If you look at everything that James has done, he has focused on really interesting people.'

It is unknown of the director of Gay-Rees's films, Asif Kapadia, also attended the December meeting.

A spokesman for Blair, however, said that there has been no agreement made for a documentary deal.

'We receive many requests from documentary makers on a variety of subjects, but have neither sought nor agreed to do anything of the nature you describe,' the spokesman told The Telegraph.

Gay-Rees worked with director Asif Kapadia for both Amy and Senna. It is unknown if Kapadia attended the meeting with Blair's staffers

Gay-Rees also said that there is no deal as of yet.

'We have not been asked to do anything by Tony Blair's office nor refused anything,' he said.

Gay-Rees and Kapadia are currently making a documentary about Argentine football player Diego Maradona.

Blair, who won elections by landslides, has been trying to revive his reputation in recent months.

The 63-year-old, who was Prime Minister from 1997 to 2007, saw a great decline in his popularity following the Iraq War.

More recently, he shut down his money-making operations has opened the Tony Blair Institute, a nonprofit working to keep Britain in the European Union.

If Gay-Rees does make a documentary about Blair, it wouldn't be the first - an unofficial documentary called The Killing$, funded through crowd-sourcing and backed by former Labour MP George Galloway, was released last year.
