Balloon Boy- The Movie?

 

 FORT COLLINS, CO -  DECEMBER 23:  Richard Heen...

While most people think of the Balloon Boy saga as a great example of what not to do, filmmaker Stephen C. Barber thinks it will make for a great movie.  The film is reportedly being called, Balloon Boy: Guilty Until Proven Innocent and should hit theaters sometime later this year.

Barber has known Balloon boy’s dad (Richard Heene) for about 10 years, and while he apparently doesn’t think like the rest of us, he also has ‘dozens of hours’ of video featuring the father. 

The ‘dad’ in this case was given jail time due to the hoax that played out on October 15, along with a stiff fine.

So, if there is a lesson here- do whatever you want to get famous.  While sure, you may go to jail- there’s still that movie deal (if you know the right people).
