Disney has plans for a film called "The Feynman Chronicles," but apparently all they have is a script and a producer. The story seems to be an Indiana Jonesish tale of a mysterious object, a beautiful spy, a cynical aviator...and Dr. Feynman is recruited by the government to investigate. The movie might have a character named Richard Feynman, but I don't think it's "about" Richard Feynman.

There was also an earlier film about Feynman ("Infinity," in 1996) which was based on his own writings and dealt more with his personal life than his academic career.
