Che is barely in theaters and we’re already hearing about a follow up - thankfully not in the form of a sequel though. Instead the writer/producer team of Peter Buchman and Steven Soderbergh are working together on another film, switching from one Cuban revolutionary to another - one that successfully infiltrated the mob.
Hollywood Reporter announced the project, Making Jack Falcone, which will tell the story of Jack Falcone aka Joaquin Garcia, an FBI agent who almost became a made man after going undercover and infiltrating the Gambino crime family. The trade newspaper offered that the story based on Garcia’s life, and the man’s ability to shift between Sicilian, Cuban, and other ethnicities, should be very appealing to actors adept at transforming themselves for a role.
Buchman will write Making Jack Falcone, based on the Simon & Schuster / Touchstone book released last month. Soderbergh will serve as executive producer, offering guidance as needed. The picture is set up at Paramount, joining several other mafia pictures in development at the studio.
