Variety reports that DreamWorks Pictures is developing a feature film version of my friend Thomas Perry’s novel NIGHT LIFE, which will be written by Ehren Kruger (THE RING) and produced by Alex Kurtzman & Roberto Orci (ALIAS, MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 3). The book is about a female serial killer who changes her identity after every murder and is pursued by a female detective.
In other book-to-film news, Ed Conlon’s book BLUE BLOOD is the basis for a new Fox TV pilot, to be written by Neil Tolkin and directed by Brett Ratner. The proposed series will be about a Harvard grad who becomes a rookie NYPD police officer.
Good news for Thomas Perry. I hope this turns out better than the Jane Whitfield movie that never happened (wasn’t Halle Berry supposed to star in that one?)
Night Life sounds like the Debra Winger movie Black Widow
