The movie adaptation of Jeff Abbott’s PANIC is moving along at a nice clip. Richard Regen is writing the script and Richard Shepard, who helmed the Pierce Brosnan movie THE MATADOR, will direct. I thought MATADOR was great, but all I know about Regen is that he worked on the short-lived UPN series SECRET AGENT MAN.
Panic’s a great read and would make a pretty good movie, although the backstory gets seriously complicated by the end. Lots of twists and turns.
