Elijah Wood Producing Black Wings Source: The Hollywood
Reporter April 19, 2007
Elijah Wood ("The Lord of the Rings" trilogy) is making his
first foray into producing, teaming with Anthony Moody and
Rob Malkani's Indalo Productions to bring to the big screen
an adaptation of Elliott Chaze's legendary noir novel Black
Wings Has My Angel.
The Hollywood Reporter says the script is being written by
Barry Gifford
(Wild at Heart, Lost Highway) and writer-producer-director
Christopher Peditto.
Chaze was a newspaperman and columnist in Mississippi who
wrote books on the side. "Angel," published in 1953, is
considered one of the shining lights of the Fawcett Gold
Medal paperback line and a pulp classic.
The story centers on an antihero, an ex-convict, who stages a
daring armed car robbery in Colorado with the help of a call
girl whom he picked up in a backwoods Mississippi
motel.
The film is set to start shooting this year.
