New Line Cinema is to adapt the Nicci French novel
Land of the Living, according to Variety.
James Ellroy (
L.A. Confidential) is set to write the script. The novel was published two years ago but gained steam when Ellroy pitched his take on the novel and to do his first adaptation of a book other than his own.
Story concerns a promiscuous woman who's captured and tortured by a serial killer. After surviving the ordeal, she has to figure out what happened because cops and even her friends think she fabricated the story.
