AceShowbiz - Harlan Coben's bestselling novel "Tell No One" is being developed into a movie with Liam Neeson in its wanted list. The thriller was picked up by Universal Pictures after the success of a French version directed by Guillaume Canet.
According to its official site, "Tell No One (2015)" is the story of pediatrician Dr. David Beck whose beloved wife Elizabeth is abducted and murdered, her body found in a ditch. Her killer is caught and brought to justice. But for David, there can be no closure. Everything changes on the eighth anniversary of Elizabeth's death. Two unidentified bodies are found at Lake Charmaine, unearthed years after their deaths. Beck gets a bizarre email that contains a phrase only known to him and his wife.
Neeson is being courted to join the movie which script is provided by Chris Terrio, Deadline reports. The scribe won an Oscar last year for writing "Argo". Gavin O'Connor ("Warrior", "Jane Got a Gun") is to direct, taking over from Ben Affleck who was attached to direct the novel adaptation three years ago.
Neeson's schedule is pretty tight. He has "A Walk Among the Tombstones" coming up in theaters soon and several more movies, including Martin Scorsese's "Silence", with his name in the credits list. The 62-year-old actor also recently revealed that he has been working on a script about the phenomenon of dances and social events featuring showbands, with fellow Irishman Bono.
"We chat, or with him a lot of the time I just listen. He's a wonderful man. He's got an idea for a script which we've been working on for the past six years," Neeson said of the U2 frontman.
