Soderbergh to develop undercover mob flick

Steven Soderbergh and Peter Buchman are teaming up for Paramount’s “Making Jack Falcone,” a film based on an undercover mob story.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the project follows Joaquin “Jack” Garcia aka. Jack Flacone, a Cuban-American FBI agent who went undercover in the Gambino crime clan.

The trade also says Garcia, now retired, is one of the few FBI agents to nearly become a made man in the mob.

Buchman, who worked with Soderbergh on his “Che” films, is writing the script based on a recently published book. Soderbergh will serve as executive producer on the project.

Soderbergh is currently working on the post-production for “The Informant” with Matt Damon. He’s also wrapping up his low-budget drama “The Girlfriend Experience.”
