Universal Pictures and Strike Entertainment have set Frank Miller to adapt the Raymond Chandler novella "
Trouble Is My Business" as a star vehicle for Clive Owen.
"Sin City" was Miller's first collaboration with Owen. "
Trouble Is My Business" was chosen partly because it provides the actor with a similar chance to frame the narrative with a compelling voiceover, using Chandler's hardboiled prose as hard-drinking private eye Philip Marlowe cracks cases, busts heads and romances femme fatales in 1940s Los Angeles.
