NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) – Sean Flynn, an actor-turned-journalist and the son of Hollywood icon Errol Flynn, will be the subject of a big-screen biopic.
While working as a photojournalist for Time, Flynn disappeared in the Cambodian jungle in 1970 and was never heard from again. Both Flynn and a CBS colleague are believed to have been captured by the Viet Cong or the Khmer Rouge.
Before turning to journalism, Flynn, the only son of Errol Flynn and French actress Lili Damita, worked as an actor for several years. He appeared in a sequel to “Captain Blood,” in which his father starred.
Millennium and Ralph Hemecker's Mythic Pictures are developing “Flynn.” Hemecker, a prolific TV writer who created the TNT movie “Witchblade,” will direct; he is writing the screenplay with Perry Deane Young, who wrote the book on which the movie will be based.
