Variety is reporting that Dennis Lehane will adapt his own short story "Animal Rescue" for film. The story originally appeared in Boston Noir, an anthology of short stories edited by Lehane and published last year. Though he has previously written for the television series The Wire, this is his first screenplay.
Several of Lehane's novels have previously been adapted for film, including Mystic River and Gone, Baby, Gone. Shutter Island, based on his 2003 novel, opens in theaters next week.
"Animal Rescue" is about a bartender who finds a pit bull that is believed to have committed murder, and is set in the author's home town of Dorchester.
