Charlie Hunnam is going to play “La Barbie” in “American Drug Lord” The movie is based on the story of Edgar Valdez, a high school football player from Texas who would become the only U.S. citizen to rise to the level of cartel leader in Mexico. From his base in Acapulco, Valdez, who brought the nickname La Barbie that was given to him by his high school football coach, made $130 million in one year moving drugs from Colombia. He became increasingly feared and allegedly ratcheted up the violence that involved filming the brutal executions of rivals and posting them on the Internet. As the drug riches escalated along with the violence, the rival cartels turned on one another, with the help of crooked cops. Valdez’s life became a “struggle to stay alive.”
American Sniper‘s Jason Hall will pen the script, while Hunnam will produce along with Legendary and Plan B’s Dede Gardner and Jeremy Kleiner. Sarah Esberg of Plan B will executive produce. [Deadline]
