New Line Cinema has acquired screen rights to the Nicci French novel Land of the Living, with James Ellroy set to write the script, reports Variety. Alexandra Milchan will produce and Joel Gotler executive produce.
The story concerns a promiscuous woman who's captured and tortured by a serial killer. After surviving the ordeal, she has to figure out what happened because cops and even her friends think she fabricated the story.
Milchan brought the book to Ellroy, who just adapted his own The Night Watchman at Paramount. Milchan is producing that film with Lucas Foster and Erwin Stoff.
Ellroy, who wrote the novel "L.A. Confidential," just had his novel "The Black Dahlia" turned into a Brian De Palma-directed drama at Universal. Josh Hartnett, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank and Aaron Eckhart star.
