Variety reports that O'Connor will bring Harlan Coben's acclaimed crime-mystery novel to the big screen, which Guillaume Canet adapted into an excellent French film back in 2006. Chris Terrio, Affleck's writing partner on Argo, penned the script which centers on a man whose wife goes missing and he is the prime suspect. However, eight years as he's suspected in another killing, clues begin to emerge that his wife may actually be alive. It's a great story, one that translated well as a French movie and should work even better over here.
No word on when this will start rolling, but Warner Bros. and Universal have been shepherding this for awhile so it should be soon.
