IMO the guy is one of the most overhyped people in the automotive world. Add to that the fact that he whored his name out for anyone with a checkbook and the idea of a movie about him has zero appeal to me.

Guessing you don't know much of the late Mr. Shelby. The man well deserves highest accolades among automotive / racing icons here and abroad.
From small time to earning business with worldwide automotive giants he was a super businessman. Not only that, those individuals fortunate to own one of his original creations surely appreciate the soaring values. And on the low end, believe it or not collectors love those Shelby Chrysler Omni's.
Also, his personal battles of continuous ailing health conditions through most of his life is most commendable and inspiring. Many who have had the same battles give up.
I might be incorrect but thought the movie is to be based on the book and 1966 battle of Ford and Ferrari.
