It was announced a while back that Clive Owen would produce
and star as Philip Marlowe in a new series of Raymond
Chandler adaptations. The first project has been announced.
It will be based on the novella TROUBLE IS MY BUSINESS.
Perhaps more interesting is the choice of writer: Frank
Miller, who worked with Owen on SIN CITY. Let the arguments
commence.http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117967247.htmlIzzo's
TOTAL CHAOS is a brilliant book. Dark, brooding, with a
magnificent sense of place. I'd learned from a few European
members of the list that the follow-ups were not as
well-regarded, but I thought the second installment in the
Marseilles Trilogy, CHOURMO, was still very good. The finale
SOLEA is out from Europa Editions this month, and I can't
wait to get into it.Vince Keenanwww.vincekeenan.comPop
