Barefoot Bandit’ movie Who will play Colton Harris-Moore

 Let me be clear: I don’t mean Harris-Moore himself. The 20-year-old former fugitive entered a guilty plea at the federal courthouse in Seattle Friday, meaning he could be headed to jail for as many as 6.5 years.
But federal Judge Richard Jones, presiding over the hearing Friday, said the so-called “Barefoot Bandit” is in negotiations for a movie deal. Indeed, Variety reported earlier this year that Fox snapped up the feature rights to Harris-Moore’s man-on-the-run story.
Harris-Moore won’t get rich from Hollywood’s take on his crimes. He’ll likely have to pay $1.5 million in restitution, and a special master has been appointed to ensure proceeds are paid to his victims.
Variety reports the movie will be called “Taking Flight: The Hunt for a Young Outlaw.” Some speculate it will be produced in the fashion of 2002′s “Catch Me If You Can,” another fugitive-on-the-run film staring Leonardo DiCaprio.

I talked with writer Bob Friel last year when Harris-Moore was captured. Friel authored a book the movie will likely be based on, and he said you can’t make this kind of stuff up.
“Story wise, it was amazing,” Friel said, talking on a cell phone from the Bahamas after the arrest. “It was a fitting end to this.”
At that point, he didn’t have any ideas about who might play Harris-Moore in a film version of his book. But after Fox bought the rights in April, the Internet starting buzzing about casting possibilities.
The soft-spoken Michael Cera is often mentioned often. So is Logan Lerman, the star of “Percy Jackson and the Olympians.”
