The movie being made of my book, THE MONSTER OF FLORENCE, is due to start shooting in Italy this summer. I should have news for you soon on who will star in it.
In 2008 the first rumours said that Tom Cruise was starring in the movie, then in 2011 Fox 2000 closed a deal that turns the bestselling crime book by Preston and Spezi into a star vehicle for George Clooney.
In 2014 George Clooney is once again attached to the movie, which has been picked up by Fox 2000. In 2014 also they talked about a script by Christopher McQuarrie (“THE USUAL SUSPECTS”, “THE WAY OF THE GUN”) and his friend, Nathan Alexander.
Based on the besteller by by Douglas Preston and Mario Spezi, the movie would star Clooney as the author who, along with Spezi, tried to bring up evidence against who they felt was responsible for a string of serial murders in Florence that began in the late 1960’s.
Up to now we have no confirmation about the cast.
