It probably will be hard to break Unbroken's record for development time in getting to the screen. Universal had optioned World War II hero Louis Zamperini's own story in 1957 as a vehicle for Tony Curtis, who was going to star but chose to do Spartacus instead. The project languished for decades until Laura Hillenbrand's eight-years-in-the-making best-selling book made Zamperini a hot film property again.
