Colditz

Cary, who is under an overall deal at Sony Pictures Television, also revealed that he’s developing Macintryre’s Colditz: Prisoners of the Castle.

That book follows an unlikely band of British officers spent the Second World War plotting daring escapes from their German captors from a forbidding Gothic castle on a hilltop in the heart of Nazi Germany.

The book explores the elitist members of the Colditz Bullingdon Club to America’s oldest paratrooper and least successful secret agent, and the soldier-prisoners of Colditz were courageous and resilient as well as vulnerable and fearful — and astonishingly imaginative in their desperate escape attempts from the site of the Oflag IV-C prisoner of war camp for officers in World War II.
