Exclusive: Netflix has set Alessandro Camon to adapt Vor, a feature based on the manuscript by neophyte author Rimma Rose. The manuscript will be submitted to publishers shortly. The film details the bloody rise of Russia’s most powerful ‘Vor’ mafia commander. The producers are Roy Lee and Vertigo Entertainment, Brooklyn Weaver and Mike Tadross Jr.
Rose, who grew up in Russia with her family in the 90’s amid the collapse of the government, observed the rise of several powerful ‘Vor’ mafia clans who warred for control of various parts of Moscow, with infamous and bloody collateral damage as the result. She has turned it into a fictional tale meant to be a trilogy. It starts with the rise of a young street-wise criminal whose prison battles with other young Vor gain the attention of the higher ups – whom he will eventually seek to replace.

Andrew Garfield may have had some bad luck with The Amazing Spider-Man franchise, being the only bright spot in what were two otherwise mediocre films, but what happened there certainly hasn’t hurt his career in the slightest. In fact, the actor is doing some of his best work to date right now.
2016 saw him give two tremendous performances in Silence and Hacksaw Ridge, while 2014 brought us the equally impressive 99 Homes.

Penned by Alessandro Camon, the drama will be based on the “memorable life and controversial death of war correspondent Carlos Mavroleon.” For those unfamiliar with the man, he was a “Harvard educated heir to a $100 million English/Greek shipping empire.” Starting...
