‘Barefoot Bandit’ Movie about Colton Harris-Moore in the Works
20th Century Fox is planning to make a feature film about the Colton Harris-Moore story.
However, a short film has already tackled the story of the “Barefoot Bandit.”
“Stealing Suburbia” debuted at the Cannes Film Festival’s Short Film Corner earlier this year.
It tells the story of a teenage fugitive who evades capture while breaking into homes, stealing boats and making off with airplanes — a plot that probably rings a bell for anyone even remotely familiar with the saga of Camano Island’s infamous Barefoot Bandit.
The filmmakers of “Stealing Suburbia” named their character Malcolm Thomas-Moore instead of Colton Harris-Moore to avoid any legal problems with 20th Century Fox.
