Spyglass Entertainment has put Matt Johnson to write "Baja 1000," an action adventure set against the backdrop of the annual Baja 1000 off-road race says The Hollywood Reporter.
The story centers on a mechanic from Southern California who heals a rift with his father and simultaneously realizes his dream of racing the Baja 1000. Described as the Indy 500 for off-road enthusiasts, the Mexico race attracts hundreds of thousands of people, including such celebrities as Indy racer Mario Andretti and James Garner.
Spyglass obtained the rights to make a film featuring the Baja 1000 from SCORE, the official sanctioning body of the race.
