LOS ANGELES, May 20 (UPI) -- Representatives for Emilio Ferrari say the Hollywood producer is working on a film about the 1993 FBI siege of the Branch Davidian compound near Waco, Texas.

SAVE MONEY ON TRAVEL DEALS

Ferrari's film producing credits include "Baby on Board" and "Luckytown."

He recently signed on to produce the $30 million big-screen drama, "Waco", under his production company A Plus Productions.

"Waco" is about how the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives attempted to arrest Branch Davidian leader David Koresh, but instead became embroiled in a 51-day siege, in which four ATF agents, Koresh and 76 of his followers, including 21 children, were killed.

Producing alongside Ferrari will be Rupert Wainwright and Lee Nelson's Breathless Films.

Wainwright is set to direct the film, which he co-wrote with James Hibberd.

Mike McNulty, who produced the 1997 documentary, "Waco: The Rules of Engagement", will co-produce "Waco."

Production is to start in October and casting is underway.

Ferrari's Entertainment 7 has acquired the worldwide rights to the film.
