Mexico will extradite. (and some weird info on how they found him).

Mexico will begin proceedings to extradite two-time prison escapee Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman to the United States, where he faces drug trafficking charges connected to his cartel, the Mexican attorney general said Saturday.

"Since Guzman Loera has been recaptured, the beginning of the extradition proceedings should begin," the attorney general's office said in statement.

Mexican Attorney General Arely Gomez noted how the U.S. government sought Guzman's extradition as early as June 16 last year, before he escaped for a second time from a Mexican prison in July.

The announcement settles a big question surrounding Guzman since Mexican authorities recaptured him on Friday: Would Mexico try to imprison the notoriously elusive kingpin for a third time -- and risk further international embarrassment if he were to escape again? The answer is no.

While on the run the past six months, the notorious outlaw thought about one thing: a movie about himself.

It amounted to hubris -- his vanity helped authorities in recapturing him.

Police and the military successfully hunted down Guzman and his henchmen this week partly because he or his representatives contacted filmmakers about making an El Chapo biopic, Attorney General Gomez said.

"Another important aspect that allowed us to pinpoint his location was having discovered Guzman Loera's intention to film a biographical movie through establishing communication with actors and producers, which formed a new line of investigation," Gomez said.

Hollywood will likely make a movie or even a series about El Chapo, as it has about other drug lords, such as Colombia's Pablo Escobar in "Narcos."
