Jeremy Renner is on a mission: to scoop up every adrenaline-pumping role in Hollywood. So far, it's going quite well.

The actor recently announced (via Variety) that his newly formed production company The Combine would be producing "Slingshot," a movie that would see Renner starring as Bill Caswell, a real life racer who took third in the World-Rally Championships in Mexico with a $500 BMW he bought on Craigslist. Fast cars and an inspirational tale? Gold for Renner.

After breaking out in "The Hurt Locker," Renner quickly found himself in demand. Since his Oscar-nominated performance, he joined Marvel's "Thor" and "The Avengers" as Hawkeye, became the heir to the "Mission: Impossible" throne in "Ghost Protocol," teamed up with Will Ferrell's production company for "Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters," and found himself attached to everything from "Ice Age 4," the next installment of "Bourne" and a Steve McQueen biopic.

He's not riding the wave of success -- the wave is riding him!

Last year, auto-centric site Jalopnik took a fascinating look into the life of Caswell, who went from unemployed fan to racing star in a matter of months. His story is a meaty one and should combine all the things that make Renner a real star, both his penchant for action his raw acting talent.

You'd start smelling Oscar if he wasn't moving at 100mph.

No word on where this fits in Renner's packed schedule, but since its a passion project being developed by his own team, it's sure to take form sooner rather than later.
