"Yucatan": A New Steve McQueen Movie?

This news came as a bit of shock to me, especially considering that Steve McQueen passed away 25 years ago. It turns out that he had filled 16 leather-bound notebooks of material that would be used as background for developing a movie. Recently, his son and a family friend (Chad McQueen and Lance Sloane) have been working to get "Yucatan" made. The project has been described as:

A heist film and adventure epic, it would have married the sprawling canvas of films like "The Great Escape" and "Papillon" with the chase-scene histrionics of "Bullitt" (transferred to motorcycles, McQueen's lifelong passion) along with some ancient history and visionary science thrown in for good measure.
