A year later, Ghosn made global headlines again when he pulled off an extraordinary escape from Japan to Lebanon, smuggled onto a private jet in a box by a former US Green Beret." James Gay-Rees, Paul Martin and Martin Conway of Box To Box Films and Anthony Galloway and Daniel Rosen of the Wall Street Journal will executive produce. (Deadline.com)
