Toobin’s book American Heiress: The Wild Saga of the Kidnapping, Crimes and Trial of Patty Hearst also serves as the basis for the upcoming CNN documentary The Radical Story of Patty Hearst, set to air on the network starting February 11.
According to Heat Vision, 20th Century Fox has cancelled their planned Patty Hearst biopic, which would have been directed by James Mangold (Logan, Walk the Line).
Hearst is one of the fugitives and is now a celebrity after becoming one of the revolutionaries.
Back in September, a rival project titled American Woman was announced, with Downsizing‘s Hong Chau in talks to play the woman who took care of kidnapped newspaper heiress Hearst.
