Last month we reported that Cinemax had ordered a pilot based on Max Allan Collins's series character Quarry. Now we're learning that Logan Marshall-Green (Dark Blue) has been cast in the role of the former Marine sniper, now hitman.
Graham Gordy and Michael D. Fuller are writing the screenplay; Collins is serving as an executive producer. The storyline is expected to begin after Quarry returns home from Vietnam in 1973. Shunned by those he loves and demonized in public, he's recruited into a network of contract killers and corruption spanning the length of the Mississippi River.
More about the book that introduced the character, below.
