The true story of how the Colombian gangster, Pablo Escobar, was assassinated and his Medellin cocaine cartel dismantled by US special forces and intelligence, the Colombian military, and a vigilante gang controlled by the Cali cartel
From the novel by the writer of 'BLACK HAWK DOWN.'
STARS

Joe carnahan shows love to the other pablo movie :).

Off to Argentina, right after the new year to interview Pablo's son and
lay the ground work for KILLING PABLO. Have loads of contacts and
folks on the ground and my feeling is we will wind up shooting a majority
of KP in and around Buenos Aires and then travel to Colombia for a few
weeks to get the crucial stuff. We've been extended every courtesy by the Colombian
government and current President Alvaro Uribe and also given guarantees as to our
safety and well being. HOWEVER, there's not a completion bond company in the
world that will touch us if we choose to shoot KILLING PABLO entirely in Colombia.
It's far too dangerous on multiple fronts, not the least of which is 'El Grande Gringo'
aka, yours truly, traipsing around like some moron, trying to do a movie about
'El Doctor' himself. I figure that's actually the perfect cover. Nobody would ever think
this ridiculous white boy would be dumb enough to pull a stunt like that, so I'm
hoping (praying) that this bit of 'camo' will suffice.
Not sure where the other, horrible Pablo project is at the moment. I know they're
getting turned down by a lot of folks...memo to aspiring screenwriters, if you want
to know how NOT to write a screenplay, pick up that piece of sh*t and use it as
reverse tutelage. It not only does a disservice to the craft of writing, it mocks one
of the greatest figures in Latin American history with a non-existent, wholly
fictionalized Butch and Sundance angle involving Pablo and his brother Roberto.
It's laughably lame.
Good luck chumps. And it doesn't matter if you get out of the gate six months earlier
than me. I will have an announcement after the new year that will absolutely break your
hearts and kill whatever middling credibility you have...and you deserve that heartbreak,
trying to push a sh*tty, insultingly bad Pablo pic into production against mine and being
nasty and conniving and devious about it.
I said in yesterday's post that 'War is War and that declaration seems obvious by now...'
I'll let that same sentiment ride here.
