Luigi Mangione documentary already in the works from Spotlight producers ‘Taxi to the Dark Side’ director Alex Gibney is also involved.
Gibney is also currently working on a film about tech mogul and Trump ally Elon Musk, and another documentary based on Salman Rushdie’s memoir Knife: Meditations After an Attempted Murder.
Thomas Dickey, an attorney representing Mangione in Pennsylvania, has said that Mangione plans to contest his extradition to New York.
The film is being put together by Oscar-winning Taxi to the Dark Side director Alex Gibney’s Jigsaw Productions and Anonymous Content, who were behind the Oscar-winning journalism drama Spotlight and the Leonardo DiCaprio-starring The Revenant (both 2015).
Over the weekend, Mangione retained Karen Friedman Agnifilo, a high-profile New York attorney, to defend him after he was accused of Thompson’s murder.
