158 Victories, Defied Hitler, Now Legendary Fighter Pilot Marseille Takes Flight in Hollywood
Uncommon Dialogue Films
Heaton’s best-selling book illuminates the wildly contradictory life of legendary Luftwaffe ace Hans-Joachim Marseille. Death, incandescent balletic aerial moves in the sky, dancing among ribbons of wing mounted machine gun tracers, was Marseilles moment-to-moment existence.
UDF plans a major motion picture adaptation, bringing Marseille’s startling and controversial story to screens globally.
“158 kills, taunting Hitler and his regime, lover to a bevy of iconic women, stellar alcoholic, revered and feared by his British and Australian combat adversaries, held in awe and jealousy by his fellow pilots, an aerobatic Da Vinci - the boy sky killer Marseille was Icarus incarnate,” said Kilpatrick.
Heaton, who did the historical vetting for Steven Spielberg’s and Tom Hank’s “Masters of The Air” streaming triumph, delves deep into Marseille’s comet-like existence, capturing his epic spirit, place and time.
“Marseille risked his own life daily in gallant acts for the benefit of his opponents, the living expression of a knight’s code in a world of blood and horror.” said Kilpatrick. "Bringing ‘The Star of Africa' to life offers a mother lode of action in the clouds with youthful, eternal themes. The hero saves victims’ lives and brazenly disobeys Hitler and German Air Force Head, Hermann Göring while collecting multiple jewel encrusted medals. We’re overjoyed Heaton and his esteemed network have asked UDF to be the studio to do it," said Kilpatrick.
Heidi Bright is the UDF strategic executive aligned with “Star of Africa” and Raphaello the producer shepherding the project. Further details regarding the film’s director, cast, and production timeline will be announced in the coming months.
