Pajiba is reporting, and the author is confirming, that Chris Pine is attached to star in the film adaptation of Marcus Sakey's debut thriller The Blade Itself.
The novel was optioned not long after its early 2007 publication date by Ben Affleck, who had just brought Dennis Lehane's novel Gone Baby Gone to the screen. No director has been named for the film, but Pajiba says it definitely will not be Affleck (who also directed Gone Baby Gone).
Book synopsis: On the South Side of Chicago, you’re only as strong as your reputation. Danny Carter and his best friend Evan earned theirs knocking over pawnshops and liquor stores, living from score to score, never thinking of tomorrow … until, in the roar of a gun blast, everything changed. Years later, Danny has built a new life: a legitimate career, a long-term girlfriend, and a clean conscience. He’s just like anyone else. Normal. Successful. Happy. Until then he spots his old partner staring him down in a smoky barroom mirror. Now, with all he loves on the line and nowhere to turn, Danny realizes his new life hinges on a terrible choice: How far will he go to protect his future from his past?
