James Ellroy Returns to Screen
LOS
ANGELES (AP) - Film fans who enjoy tales of Tinseltown's dark
underbelly have reason to rejoice. Author James Ellroy, whose
noir L.A. Confidential was made into a feature film in 1997,
is returning to the screen, this time with three projects
based on his work. USA Network will produce James Ellroy's
Los Angeles. The six- to 12-hour miniseries, airing in
September 2002, will weave together real-life and fictional
characters as seen through Ellroy's eyes. Robert Greenwald,
director of the miniseries, is also turning My Dark Places,
Ellroy's investigation into the murder of his mother, into a
feature film. Shooting is slated to begin this year. And the
director of James Ellroy's Feast of Death, a documentary that
aired on the BBC in May, is seeking U.S. distribution for the
work. Ellroy, a native of Los Angeles, now lives in
Kansas.
