Michael Mann plans film of Robert Capa
By Maximilian von Soltau
Director Michael Mann plans a film about Robert Capa. Columbia has bought the rights to the Susana Fortes novel Waiting for Robert Capa and has hired Jez Butterworth to adapt it. Robert Capa (1913 – 1954), born Endre Ern? Friedmann, was a combat photographer who covered five different wars: the Spanish Civil War, the Second Sino-Japanese War, World War II, the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and the First Indochina War. He documented the course of World War II in London, North Africa, Italy, the Battle of Normandy on Omaha Beach and the liberation of Paris. Capa and his companion Gerda Taro had a great influence on photo journalism in the 20th century. In 1947, Capa cofounded Magnum Photos with, among others, Henri Cartier-Bresson.
