The political thriller film ‘Killers & Diplomats’, which tells the true story of four American missionary women raped and murdered in El Salvador in 1980 during a civil war in the Central American nation, is in the works, reports ‘Variety’.
Projected Picture Works, the company founded by Sean Penn last year, has been signed on to produce the movie.

The film is based on an article by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Raymond Bonner.
