Tony Blair has held talks with an Oscar-winning producer over a deal to make a feature-length documentary about his life.

A source told The Telegraph that Mr Blair’s staff met James Gay-Rees, producer of the film Amy, about the life and death of the British singer-songwriter Amy Winehouse, at his offices in Grosvenor Square, London, before Christmas.

The film won an Oscar for best documentary last year. Mr Gay-Rees also produced the hugely successful documentary Senna, about the Brazilian Formula 1 world champion Ayrton Senna. It is not clear if Asif Kapadia, who directed the films, attended the meeting.
