Almost 20 years in the making, the adaptation of Gregory David Roberts’ best-selling novel finds an action star in Hunnam
might have been. Back in 2004, Warner Bros. bought the film rights to the literary sensation, and planned an adaptation with Johnny Depp in the lead role of Lindsay Ford. At the time, Depp was in full Jack Sparrow mode, swinging between. Depp’snever happened. While Warner Bros. retained rights, and Australian actor Joel Edgerton was put forward for the starring role, no big-screen adaptation materialised. Finally, it became clear whatshould be: a TV show.
Even better than a good story? A true one. Author Gregory David Roberts actually lived through this, though working out where the book ends and his life begins seems to be a fool’s errand. Roberts did indeed escape from prison, where he was serving time for a series of armed robberies, which he had orchestrated to finance his heroin addiction. From there, he lived in Mumbai, working variously as a medical expert and also for the local mafia.
