David Fincher Directing Torso
David Fincher will direct Torso for Paramount Pictures.
Based on the graphic novel of the same name, the story follows real-life federal agent Eliot Ness – made famous by The Untouchables – after he closes the Al Capone case in Chicago and moves to Cleveland. There he makes a promise to help clean up the town until the city is scarred by a series of gruesome killings known as the “torso” murders. The graphic novel was written by Brian Michael Bendis with illustrations by Marc Andreyko. Ehren Kruger will adapt it for the big screen.
Fincher is currently filming Zodiac, another serial killer movie about the Zodiac killer who committed a string of murders in San Francisco during the 1960s and 1970s. Based on the books by Robert Graysmith, that movie stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Mark Ruffalo and Robert Downey Jr.
Before Fincher begins work on Torso, he’s expected to go into production on Benjamin Button with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett attached to star.
