The most wanted teen in America may soon be coming to a theater near you. Variety reports that a Hollywood studio has purchased the rights to a book proposal based on the elusive Colton Harris-Moore. The 18-year-old, who has been suspected of stealing boats, cars and planes, has been on the run for several years. He has also become a folk hero to thousands of admirers and supporters.
Harris-Moore has amassed a growing fan base on a Facebook tribute page. It lists more than 25,000 followers. Many of the entries encourage him to continue his life on the run. One recent post congratulated Harris-Moore by telling him “much love and respect man, you’re living my dream!!”
