I'm not sure how or why this happens but every few years there are a couple projects that start to made right around the same time that feature the same subject. We've had it before with asteroids, volcanos, and even animated ants. This time the subject will be Pablo Escobar (this is the third project on the man, if you count the last season of Entourage).
Oliver Stone is producing Escobar, a biopic about the Colombian cocaine trafficker. The film, which is being directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, Shooter), is based on Mi Hermano Pablo, a book written by Roberto Escobar Gaviria, who served as his brother's accountant and confidant. The other Escobar movie, Killing Pablo, is an adaptation of the Mark Bowden book about the hunt for Escobar, which Joe Carnahan will direct.
