Remember Colton Harris-Moore aka The Barefoot Bandit? The now 20 year old was captured in the Bahamas last year after leading North American police on a 2 year chase as he stole cars, bikes, boats — even small aircraft — often sans shoes. No surprise to hear 20th Century Fox has now forked out $1.3M to option film rights…but why is the Academy Award winning writer of Milk attached to write the screenplay?
Colton Harris-Moore, the 20-year-old “Barefoot Bandit” who managed to steal airplanes and elude capture for two years in the great American Northwest (and eventually the Bahamas), has plead guilty to seven federal charges.
In the moments before “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Harris-Moore was apprehended, he tossed a MacBook and an iPod into the sea. Now FBI sleuths are racing against time to recover data from the devices that could further damn this elusive burglar.
