Rosamund Pike, Daniel Bruhl, Vincent Cassel circle plane hijacking film Entebbe

Rosamund Pike, Daniel Bruhl and Vincent Cassel are in talks to join director Jose Padilha’s “Entebbe”.

“Entebbe” tells the true story of four hijackers — two Palestinian and two German — who diverted a plane to land in Entebbe, Uganda in 1976. Taking the plane hostage, the hijackers demanded the release of dozens of Palestinian and pro-Palestinian prisoners.

According to Deadline, the film will be a “ticking-clock thriller”, following the story from the points of view of the hijackers, hostages, then-Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and future PM Shimon Peres.

Greg Burke is writing the script. Working Title’s Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner will produce with Kate Solomon.
