The story of Yasiel Puig‘s journey from Cuba to Los Angeles could be coming to the big screen.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film rights to a Los Angeles Magazine story about Puig have been sold to “Rush Hour” director Brett Ratner’s firm, RatPac. From THR.com:

Ratner will produce the big-screen take with Beau Flynn, who will produce via his FlynnPictureCo. banner.
