The film is now in pre-production (Kingsgate Films Interlight), starring Nick Nolte and John Cusack, and to be directed by Robert Richardson.
- He will pen another original script, "77," for Paramount Pictures, with "Law & Order" creator Dick Wolf
and Wolf Films president Tony Ganz on board to produce. The script will link two events from May 1974 -- the unsolved murder of an LAPD officer and a South Central shootout that mesmerized a live national television audience as the LAPD and the Symbionese Liberation Army
(the terrorists who kidnapped Patty Hearst) exchanged more than 50,000 rounds of gunfire.
"Dick Wolf is the king of television crime, and I have no doubt that he will soon become the king of feature film crime," said Ellroy. "'77' will be my first epic-length film script -- and I'm thrilled that the Wolfman is at the helm."
- He will write a remake of White
Heat (Raoul Walsh, 1949, with James Cagney) for an australian producer,
Village Roadshow Pictures.
