The Walt Disney Co. is planning a feature film about Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Robert Capa. Disney has acquired the rights to "Slightly Out of Focus: The Robert Capa Story," Capa's autobiography, along with the rights to Richard Whelan's book "Robert Capa: A Biography." The books, along with certain photographs and memoirs acquired from the Capa estate, will form the foundation of the picture, a romantic epic that takes place between 1943 and D-Day.
The picture is expected to focus on Capa's own love affair with an Englishwoman against the backdrop of WWII, as well as on Capa's efforts to leave the U.S. as an enemy alien and cover the war overseas. It will also show the risks he took breaking down the boundaries and red tape of the U.S. war machine to get closer to the action and capture what became groundbreaking images of war.
The project is expected to feature many of the photographs Capa became known for during his career including pictures he took on assignment for Collier's magazine during WWII, and the film is expected to reference one of the most famous and controversial photographs he took during the Spanish Civil War, that of a combatant being struck by a bullet.
