Spyglass Entertainment has tapped Matt Johnson to write 'Baja 1000,' an action adventure set against the backdrop of the annual Baja 1000 off-road
race.
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 former
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.
Johnson wrote Warner Bros. Pictures` 'Torque' and Sony Pictures` 'Into the Blue.'
