Mark Walberg and Leonardo DiCaprio To Ship Cocaine To Miami: The Movie
Lights, Camera, Action!
Cocaine Cowboys the movie.....
It looks like Hollywood is discovering Colombia, expect to see cameras rolling up in them poor hillside barrios in Medellin.
"Mark Wahlberg and Leonardo DiCaprio to star in Cocaine Cowboys, the story of an injured Vietnam war veteran who became involved in New York's gang wars in the 70s and dealt billions of dollars worth of cocaine for the Medellín drugs cartel in Miami. He then spent 10 years in prison.
The film will be written by former Rolling Stone journalist Evan Wright, based on a book he is writing which is due to be published in 2009. Hancock director Peter Berg is attached to the project."
Cocaine Cowboys Documentary Soon To Be Turned Into a Hollywood Movie.
Interesting how all of the sudden everyone in Hollywood seems to be interested in Colombian themed movies, even if they are all basically about cocaine and Pablo Escobar. This is how things work in Hollywood, someone makes a superhero movie, everyone else wants to make a superhero movie, and another, and another, and the Dark Knight was the BEST OF 'EM ALL!
See you all at the movies.

Cheers Terry says on Jul 26, 2008, 11:40: This project has been kicking around for quite some time. I'm glad to see Wright has been hired, and it appears it's finally going forward. Unfortunately there's no plans at this time to do any shooting in Colombia.

Medellin Traveler says on Jul 26, 2008, 17:56: As of now, Javier Bardem has been approached to play Escobar. I think Benecio Del Toro will be a better choice for Killing Pablo. "Huevos Rancheros en Medellin, No Quiero Taco Bell." - www.medellintraveler.com 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

billyb says on Jul 26, 2008, 18:02: He should have won it for Goodfellas. It was more a lifetime achievment award for being overlooked so often. BTW, I agree, Del Toro would be a better choice for Pablo than Bardem.

Robert Jorge says on Jul 29, 2008, 21:37: Simon - "they" do make movies about junkies in the US. I would say there is no shortage of drug references and themes in US produced movies. He who farts in church, sits in his own pew. 0 funny, 0 helpful. |
