Late last year, crime novelist Michael Connelly reaquired the rights to his series character Harry Bosch from Paramount and it looks like he's not wasting any time transitioning the character to film.
Connelly is reportedly in talks with Yellow Bird Films -- the producers behind the "The Girl Who ..." movies adapted from the Stieg Larsson thrillers -- to develop a film project for the LAPD homicide detective.
In 1995, Paramount optioned Connelly's first two books featuring Bosch, The Black Echo and The Black Ice, but the deal also included a 15-year adaptation lock on the character and a reaquisition fee tied to the studio's development costs. (No films were ever made.)
Last week, The Lincoln Lawyer opened in theaters, adapted from another of Connelly's novels (featuring a different series character, criminal defense attorney Mickey Haller).
