Brad Furman, who directed the spring hit The Lincoln Lawyer , is in negotiations to direct the untitled feature, while Matt Aldrich, who made a big splash in May when his spec Father Daughter Time: A Tale of Armed Robbery and Eskimo Kisses sold to Warner Bros., is writing the script The life of Escobar, the charismatic and murderous Colombian blood lord, has long captivated Hollywood.

Next up Millionaire Playboy , CBS Pittsburgh , and postgazette  via ramascreen   we have a bunch of behind the scene photos showing Marion Cotillard, Gary Oldman and director Christopher Nolan on set. Thanks to the movie magic employed by the makers of the Batman film “The Dark Knight Rises,” one block in Lawrenceville was immune from the heat, humidity and intermittent showers that fell Friday afternoon. On 41st Street between Butler and Foster streets, director Christopher Nolan was on-site to oversee the film’s first day of shooting in Pittsburgh.
