Damned if David Fincher doesn't love his killers... Now he's even got a flick at Paramount called THE KILLER!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Now I'm not complaining about Fincher doing this flick. Not at all. He's quite good at flicks about killers, so keep them rolling out as far as I'm concerned.



Paramount is producing THE KILLER with Brad Pitt's PLAN B. It's based on a graphic novel by Matz about an assassin with a change of heart (are there any other eventualities for an assassin besides a changing of heart? I guess death... Those two are the only endings for the life of an assassin) who is plagued by both his guilty conscience and a really damn good cop who is closing in on him.

Fincher was also attached a while back to another graphic novel, one that I actually dig quite a bit written by Brian Michael Bendis, called TORSO. Don't know what's up with that one... maybe it disappeared or Ehren Kruger's draft didn't shape up well. Or maybe it just ended up with the millions of other potential projects in some hellish Hollywood limbo somewhere.

Allesandro Camon is scripting the adaptation of THE KILLER... or did script... assuming he's a WGA member.

Thoughts?
