The latest rumor from Hollywood goes like this, Brett Ratner has picked up the rights to adapt Charles Robert Jenkins and Jim Frederick's 2008 memoir The Reluctant Communist.
Ok we all know this director is quite busy lately.
He's currently in pre-production on the upcoming caper comedy titled Tower Heist with Ben Stiller in the leading role, but still, something fresh and different is on the way…
Check out the description: “This is an incredible story of betrayal, love and the search for redemption set within the bizarre and Orwellian surroundings of North Korea during the late 20th century.
Robert Jenkins is a modern-day Robinson Crusoe, isolated from the outside world, and relying on his wits to survive in a nightmarish parody of a nation where nothing is as it seems.
Living in constant fear and violence, Jenkins's efforts to grow food, dig a well, heat his home, generate electricity and to find companionship, trust and ultimately love, lend this rough and ready narrative an unexpected depth.”
At this moment the only thing we know is that Ratner will direct from a script written by Ross Katz (Taking Chance).
On the other hand, no studio and no actor are currently attached to this project.
As usual, we're here to keep you updated, so stay tuned!
