Ahoy, squirts! Quint here... sorry for the headline... those cheesy '70s import horror trailer fans out there will get it... all 7 of you. But it is true... there's a project called TORSO that is being adapted by Ehren Kruger (boo, hiss) from a graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Marc Andreyko and David Fincher's name is being mentioned as directing the thing. The story was based on the true story of Eliot Ness (yeah, the UNTOUCHABLES guy) and what happened to him after he moved out of Chicago to become a public safety officer in Cleveland. Ness pulls together a team to track down a serial murderer who keeps dumping the torsos of his victims in the river.
This sounds right up Fincher's alley, what with ZODIAC and SEVEN already under his belt. Sounds like a sweet fuckin' movie to me (if Kruger can deliver a non-pedestrian script). What do you think?
