Yesterday I read of the feature adaptation of Ken Bruen's Blitz at Crime Always Pays. And the story popped up again at Crimespree Cinema. This sounds bloomin' fantastic to me. Especially since I very recently learned what a cool chap Mister Bruen is when I emailed him for an interview. The news originates from Variety Magazine:
Elliott Lester has been tapped to direct "Blitz,"the feature adaptation of Ken Bruen's police thriller, for Lionsgate U.K., Donald Kushner and Brad Wyman.
"Blitz" centers on a serial killer who's aiming for tabloid immortality by executing cops in southeast London.
So, I'm a little late throwing my two cents in. But I can offer somthing new. An email from the Galway gent himself confirms the rumour Dec Burke has gleefully spread as true. Jude Law will indeed play Brant. And shooting will begin in February 2009.
Super!
