Those who knew Wells, a 46-year-old pizza delivery man, are angry that Columbia Pictures would release a comedic film that is so similar to his death.<\/p>\n<p>Wells insisted to police that he was abducted when he was delivering a pizza in Pennsylvania. He claimed a bombmaker locked an explosive device around his neck and demanded he rob a bank. Officers didn&#8217;t believe Wells at first, and placed him in handcuffs. When they realized he was telling the truth, they backed away from him. News cameras captured the bomb exploding, and Wells died instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Federal prosecutors alleged years later that Wells came up with the idea with several other people. One of the alleged conspirators claimed Wells didn&#8217;t know an actual bomb would be used. But his friends are insisting he wasn&#8217;t involved in the plan, and they feel the movie is thoughtless.<\/p>\n<p>But a rep for Columbia said Ruben Fleischer, who directed &#8217;30 Minutes or Less,&#8217; and the actors were aware of Wells&#8217; death before they committed to the movie. While the writers were vaguely familiar with what happened, they wrote a &#8220;screenplay  that does not mirror the real-life tragedy,&#8221; the rep added.<\/p>\n<p>Written by: Karen Benardello<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/30-Minutes-Or-Less-Bomb.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/30-Minutes-Or-Less-Bomb.jpg\" alt=\"30 Minutes or Less\" title=\"30 Minutes or Less\" width=\"500\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-62630\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/30-Minutes-Or-Less-Bomb.jpg 563w, https:\/\/www.shockya.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/30-Minutes-Or-Less-Bomb-300x139.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 563px) 100vw, 563px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jesse Eisenberg&#8217;s new film &#8217;30 Minutes or Less&#8217; is upsetting the friends of Brian Wells, who died after he was abducted, outfitted with a bomb and forced to rob a bank in 2003, TMZ is reporting.
