Smokin' Joe Carnahan: A LETTER...

A LETTER...

12/04/2007 at 06:32 AM

Guys:

I received a letter addressed to me courtesy of my agency yesterday. It was
beautifully written, emphatically detailed and nearly three pages long.

The author was Juan Pablo Escobar. Pablo's only son.

Now 30. He had his name legally changed in 1994 and I won't share his new nom
de guerre out of respect for him and his intention in contacting me.

He offered me unlimited access to his family's history, including photos, films,
letters and the like. There are obvious caveats and considerations but the next
step is a face to face meeting. I'm honored he would think to reach out to me in
this way.

Sitting down with the man that was once thought as the natural heir to the
Medellin cartel and his father's legacy, only to turn his back on all of it, has got
me f*cking pumped to say the least.

Great, so thrilled you are so pumped!. I wonder if you get your emails and ever bother with answering?

Congrats on that! It's such an amazing thing. The movie will be fantastic with input from an actual family member.

So, does this mean you blowing off WHITE JAZZ or the actor in question passed? Just curious where it is at? Watch your back with Pablo's son, you never know! Text works, nothing but...
