Brad Pitt to Star in David O. Russell’s The Mission?
David O. Russell is currently in dilemma – what to do next? Maleficent maybe? Or, perhaps Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune? Or, something completely different? The Mission?
What the hell is that? Well, it’s another Hollywood military rescue story, and if you’re fan of these kind of stories, then I’m sure you’ll love the idea of seeing Brad Pitt in an uniform?
Well, first of all, nothing is official at this moment. Apparently Warner Bros Studio is trying to get Brad Pitt to star in The Mission, while O. Russell is reportedly considering directing the whole thing.
At this moment we know that Peter Landesman is responsible for The Mission script, and that the movie is actually based on the six-year military rescue operation planned by American and Columbian agents to free 15 hostages from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Columbia or better known as FARC.
WB vs Sony – Two Movies About Real-Life Colombian Hostage Rescue
Warner Bros will make an untitled action thriller about last summer’s real-life hostage rescue in the Colombian jungle.
In July, 15 prisoners were freed by undercover forces who tricked the captors, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), into thinking they were moving the hostages to another location.
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.
