CAMANO ISLAND — Police may not have caught Colton Harris-Moore, the elusive serial burglar, but his infamy appears to have picked up some traction.
Variety is reporting that Fox is working to secure the rights to a movie about the infamous 19-year-old from Camano Island. The working title, “Taking Flight: The Hunt for a Young Outlaw,” Variety said.
Harris-Moore escaped from a Renton group home in April 2008 and has been a fugitive ever since.
The movie industry Website reported that freelance reporter Bob Friel has a book deal to tell his account of Harris-Moore’s criminal exploits. Friel wrote a feature story for Outside magazine’s January issue. The movie would be drawn from the book.
Harris-Moore was last reported to be on Orcas Island. Several manhunts have failed to nab him.
