Fox 2000 and New Regency are developing an adaptation of John Grisham's latest, The Racketeer. The Hollywood Reporter brings word that Safe House director Daniel Espinosa is looking to direct a big screen version based on the novel officially described as follows:

Given the importance of what they do, and the controversies that often surround them, and the violent people they sometimes confront, it is remarkable that in the history of this country only four active federal judges have been murdered.

Judge Raymond Fawcett just became number five.

Who is the Racketeer? And what does he have to do with the judge’s untimely demise? His name, for the moment, is Malcolm Bannister. Job status? Former attorney. Current residence? The Federal Prison Camp near Frostburg, Maryland.

On paper, Malcolm’s situation isn’t looking too good these days, but he’s got an ace up his sleeve. He knows who killed Judge Fawcett, and he knows why. The judge’s body was found in his remote lakeside cabin. There was no forced entry, no struggle, just two dead bodies: Judge Fawcett and his young secretary. And one large, state-of-the-art, extremely secure safe, opened and emptied.

What was in the safe? The FBI would love to know. And Malcolm Bannister would love to tell them. But everything has a price—especially information as explosive as the sequence of events that led to Judge Fawcett’s death. And the Racketeer wasn’t born yesterday...


Michael Shamberg and Stacey Sher are attached to produce with Espinosa and Shelley Browning executive producing.

I bought my Dad the book for Christmas, I'll have to give it a read. I thought Espinosa did a solid job with Safe House.
