Variety reports that Rooney Mara (The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo) will produce and star in the drama "A House in the Sky”.
The story charts 15-month imprisonment of Amanda Lindhout (Mara). She was abducted in 2008 in Mogadishu, Somalia, by a
rebel terrorist group and kept in captivity for 460 days with
photographer Nigel Brennan,
before they were released following ransom payments by their families.
The memoir co-authored by Sara Corbett details the psychology, motivations, and desperate
extremism of her captors as who kept in chains, nearly starved, and
subjected to abuse.
Megan Ellison will also produce and Annapura Pictures' Chelsea Barnard will executive produce the project.
