Colombian Hostage Rescue Coming to Theaters
Hollywood is once again proving that it moves fast, as Vertigo Entertainment and Colombian television network RCN are teaming up to bring the story of last week’s dramatic rescue of 15 hostages in Colombia to the big screen.
The Hollywood Reporter says, while many in Hollywood were vying for the rights to the dramatic story, Vertigo had the inside track on securing the rights due to the company’s relationship with RCN. Vertigo worked with RCN to secure remake rights to the Colombian film Al Final del Espectro, and has set up the project at Universal with the working title At the End of the Spectra.
The film will tell the story from three points of view — the American, the French and the Colombian — and recreate the daring rescue.
Colombian filmmaker Simon Brand, whose credits include Unknown and Colombia’s highest-grossing movie Paradise Travel, is working with the producers to develop and direct the project. No writer is on board yet.
Ok, i hope this not gonna be another film about how american people feel they are better and smarter than the rest of the world, and shows us what really happen in the jungle. Here in Colombia many people think that hostages were mercenaries that were training “los paramilitares” group but not contractors
