A Hollywoodland production company has teamed up with major Colombian players to bring the "Colombian hostage rescue" to the big screen.
Vertigo Entertainment has struck a deal with a Colombian television network and production outfit RCN to tell the the story of last week's dramatic rescue of former Colombian presidential candidate Ingrid Betancourt, 3 Americans and 11 other hostages from the hands of rebel group FARC, who kidnapped them.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, while many in LaLaLand were vying for the rights to the dramatic story, Vertigo had the inside track on securing the rights due to the company's relationship with RCN.
Vertigo worked with RCN to secure remake rights to the Colombian film Al Final del Espectro, and has set up the project at Universal with the working title At the End of the Spectra.
Sidenote: Vertigo is also behind one of the summer's scariest flicks, The Strangers.
We wonder who'll be cast as Ingrid.
What do y'all think?

Nathalie Portman
Then it's true Alicia Coppola is the actress who 'll best suit because she looks twin to Ingrid.
But now I can't stand Ingrid Betancourt, she's everywhere so…
WHAT A PATHETIC ACTION TO TAKE!
Joan Rivers to play her!
PS Swedish gay men are HOT!
make it a musical and throw in celine…..
A GOOD Age-appropriate American actress: Katherine Keener, Toni Colette
Or a frenchie: Marion Cotilard or like someone already said Charlotte Gainsburg (that fits pretty well)
Salma H???? Are you people on drugs?
Adrian Brody's gf whatsherface speaks spanish and french…but can't act!
Correction, Toni Collettes's not American.
Penelope Cruz or Salma Hayek
Colombian Actress - Margarita Rosa de Francisco
Eva Mendes or Monica Bellucci.
jodie foster!
Hi Perez! first of all media has lied telling it was a "rescue", come on!!! Uribe paidddddddddddd them (FARC people) for it…It was a farce, a big fat lie.
doesn't matter, I guess.. the thing is, a movie???? noooooooooooooo way, my gosh, that's a crime.(i'm from colombia)
Venezuelan Actress/Supermodel Patricia Velásquez as Ingrid in the new movie called "Searching for Ingrid"
Ingrid's son, Lorenzo delloye batencourt, is OH SO CUUUUTEEE!!!!! Yummy! He should be cast as himself.
Emma Thompson, without a doubt!
My vote is for Catalina Sandino Moreno (First Option).
Second option Sigourney Weaver because she is too old.
2sabe you are a liar she didn´t say that, she said a lot times thanks to the colombian army (heroes), and the president of Colombia Alvaro Uribe, ´no,no,no,baby,no,no,no,don´t lie.
By the way, who are you?, el descerebrado de izarrita mariquita.
Re: ja –
Margarita Rosa de Francisco is way too pretty, lol. She is a great actress but she looks nothing like Ingrid. She is a beautiful blonde firecraker whereas Ingrid is more the librarian type, but one that likes to talk…a lot. JMO
Salma Hayek
