Warner Bros. To Adapt 'Brotherhood of the Rose'

The Brotherhood of the Rose
Warner Bros. has sleuthed out bigscreen rights to David Morrell’s “The Brotherhood of the Rose,” an espionage tome previously developed into an NBC mini in the late 1980s.

Story centers on two orphans raised by a CIA operative to be assassins, only to become targets themselves. Tome was first published in 1984, with the NBC mini following five years later. Two-parter starred Robert Mitchum, Peter Strauss and Connie Sellecca.
