Noir Classic Black Wings Has My Angel to be Adapted for Film

Black Wings Has My Angel by Elliott Chaze

Elliott Chaze's 1953 noir classic Black Wings Has My Angel — one of only two crime novels he wrote — is being adapted for film. Anna Paquin (True Blood), Elijah Wood, and Tom Hiddleston (Wallander) are set to star in a screenplay by Barry Gifford (City of Ghosts).

The storyline follows escaped convict Tim Sunblade (expected to be played by Hiddleston), who teams up with a call girl named Virginia (Paquin) in a backwoods Mississippi motel, where they plan a daring heist. Wood's role is unknown at this point.

Filming is expected to begin later this year.

(As of the date of this post, the Kindle edition of Black Wings Has My Angel is available to download for only 99 cents. Prices can and do change without notice, so check the current price before 1-clicking.)
