Cinemystery: Fox Options Michael Koryta's New Thriller, Those Who Wish Me Dead

Though the book isn't published until May 2014, 20th Century Fox has picked up the film rights to Michael Koryta's Those Who Wish Me Dead.

Steve Zaillian (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Cold Light of Day) is attached to produce, though it isn't clear if he will write the adapted screenplay.

The storyline follows a teenager, who has witnessed a brutal murder and is forced to flee into the Montana wilderness for his own protection while two assassins follow him in all while a raging forest fire consumes the landscape around them.
