It’s not every day that a group of mobsters turn up to a wedding, only to discover it’s an elaborate sting and they’re all off to the slammer. In fact, it could almost be an episode of The Sopranos.
But it was a real-life event, and only now is it becoming fiction. Warner Brothers is busy negotiating to grab the rights to a pitch based on the events. Committed For Life, written by Shane Morris, would see the “bride” and “groom” at the centre of the operation falling in love for real, which goes against everything the FBI stands for. There’s no love allowed in the bureau, despite what Mulder and Scully might have done in The X-Files.
