my favorite book goes to the movies: News of a Kidnapping

Gabriel García Márquez’s book “News of a Kidnapping” will be adapted for the big screen by Mexican director Pedro Pablo Ibarra, who directed some episodes for latin HBO series “Capadocia”. The movie will begin shooting in 2009 and is being produced by Argos Producciones from Mexico and Caracol Films from Colombia. The film will reach theaters in 2010. “News of a Kidnapping” is a non fiction book, published in 1996, that tells the story of many people who were kidnapped by drug traffic kingpin Pablo Escobar, leader of the Cartel de Medellín
