Just as Entourage's Pablo Escobar movie Medellin experienced setbacks, two competing and actual projects about the Colombian druglord are also facing major problems.
Killing Pablo was originally set to feature Javier Bardem in the leading role (opposite Christian Bale) but the actor recently dropped out of the project. Negotiations have begun with Venezuelan actor Edgar Ramirez to replace Bardem, and the director is done scouting locales in Colombia and Mexico. Currently, they have an October start date.
Meanwhile, Antoine Fuqua and Oliver Stone's Escobar has been delayed because of last winter's writers' strike, other directing commitments, and a current financial dispute with sales partner Essential Entertainment. No start date has been set.
