Mann To Direct Capa Film
Columbia Pictures and director Michael Mann will team to tell the story of renowned war photographer Robert Capa, using the snapshot of a torrid two-year romance with Gerda Taro during the Spanish Civil War. (Robert De Niro long wanted to play Capa, but now the actor is too old.) The studio has acquired “Waiting for Robert Capa,†a Spanish language novel by Susana Fortes, and set Jez Butterworth to adapt it.
