The Netflix film is being filmed in David Fishwick's home town of Burnley and surrounding areas, with filming having already begun.
Dave will be portrayed on the screen by Rory Kinnear and the story will focus on him finding his fortune selling vans and minibuses before opening a bank, Burnley Savings & Loans Ltd, with his right-hand man David Henshaw in the town.
Projected to be the next feel-good British movie of the decade, Bank Of Dave will feature other stars including Joel Fry and Phoebe Dynevor, daughter of Coronation Street legend Sally Dynevor.
