Pitch sale: Untitled Colombian hostage pitch
Warner Bros. nabs Untitled Colombian hostage pitch from writer Peter Landesman:
The film will focus on Operacion Jaque, a five-year plan to locate and rescue three Americans who had been captured in 2003 by Colombian guerilla group FARC. The covert effort involved numerous governments, diplomats and intelligence services and a vast network of spies, military advisers and soldiers plus high-tech surveillance measures.
This is the second movie project set up this year re these events, the other one at Screen Gems. But this is typical of Hollywood as noted here.
