Expect a lot of Entourage jokes attached with this news story. Hopefully this film gets a better reaction than the Vinny Chase version, Medillian. The Yari Film Group is making Killing Pablo, a biopic about the late Pablo Escobar, with Javier Bardem and Christian Bale.
Joe Carnahan (Narc, Smokin' Aces) remains attached to direct.
Bardem is slated to play Escobar, while Bale is in talks to play Major Steve Jacoby, the Delta Force commander who led the hunt for Escobar.
Escobar's rise as a leader of the drug cartel in Medellin, Colombia, began in the 1970s. After years of terrorizing police and political leaders, Escobar was targeted in 1992 by a coalition of Colombian police and military, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency and the CIA; he was killed the following year.
