Coronado High, about teen drug smugglers in San Diego, to be based on another article by same journalist who inspired Argo
Argo producers George Clooney and Grant Heslov are planning to reunite with the journalist whose story inspired their Oscar-winning film, according to the Wrap.
Clooney and Heslov's new project is said to be based on an as-yet-unpublished piece by Joshuah Bearman, whose 2007 Wired article "How the CIA Used a Fake Sci-Fi Flick to Rescue Americans from Tehran" inspired their Iran hostage crisis thriller. The new film, called Coronado High, will apparently focus on a group of teenage drug smugglers operating in the small town of Coronado, San Diego, near the Mexican border. Clooney, Heslov and Bearman have yet to comment on the production.
In the meantime, the two producers are following their Argo success with The Monuments Men – another historical thriller, this time about the Monuments, Fine Arts and Archives programme, an Allied group responsible for saving culturally important items from destruction by the Nazis during the second world war. Matt Damon and Cate Blanchett have signed on to star in the movie, which will be directed by Clooney and is based on the book The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by author Robert M Edsel.
