Christopher Kyle has signed to adapt Jon Land's best-seller "
The Seven Sins: The Tyrant Ascending" for the big screen.
The action thriller centers on Michael "The Tyrant" Tiranno, adopted son of an Italian crime lord called upon to defend the gambling mecca from terrorist attacks. Land has said that the character is loosely inspired by Boccardi's life story and is designed as the first of a series of James Bond-like adventure tales.
