Director Damian Chapa Has been chosen by Indie film company Munich International pictures to write and direct an unauthorised film associated with Gerry Adams and 'the troubles'.
Munich International Pictures, an Indie film company, offered actor/director Damian Chapa to compose and direct a biopic regarding the actual life of Gerry Adams and the controversy around his arrest.
A spokesman for the company says the film will be named: GERRY ADAMS unauthorized.
Chapa has revealed that he's "used to controversy after being the only person who has directed biopics about Roman Polanski, Bobby Fischer and Marlon Brando."
Chapa won the Best Director and Best Drama awards at the New York International Independent Film Festival.
Chapa states that, "The story will be created on historical facts regarding Gerry Adams' rise to the Sinn Fein leader and then his arrest. Chapa said, "The timing of Adams arrest seems interesting since Sinn Fein had been poised to make significant gains in elections in the Republic of Ireland."
A partner in Munich International pictures had been quoted as saying, "No matter where the artistic endeavor of the film lands, for sure the spirit of the film will be empathetic to both sides of the troubles victims," Munich Lawyer Nicola Mayerl heads MIP.
Damian Chapa is better famous for his role as Miklo Velka in the cult classic Gangster film "BLOOD IN BLOOD OUT". Directed by Academy award film maker Taylor Hackford. And his role alongside Kylie Minogue in Universal's Street Fighter.
Chapa said the Gerry Adams feature screenplay will be completed by December 2014 and shooting to start early 2015.
