Scott Frank will re-write and direct a GK Films adaptation of the 2009 British miniseries UNFORGIVEN which was shown on ITV.
Originally GK signed Christopher McQuarrie to write the early draft as a potential for Angelina Jolie. Although this was done, there are still no signs of Jolie so it won’t be clear who’ll star until Frank does his rewrite and gets the film ready.
Unforgiven is about a woman’s attempt to rejoin society after she serves a 15-year prison stretch for the murder of two policemen. The tragedy happened after the policemen came to evict her family from their farmhouse. Her hope is to live quietly and reunite with her troubled younger sister, but the paroled woman is targeted for a revenge campaign by two sons of one of her victims. Suranne Jones played the lead in the original miniseries, which was written by Sally Wainwright and directed by David Evans.
This is one of many things Frank is lined up for; he is currently finishing HOUDINI for Sony Pictures and director Francis Lawrence, and he also scripted HELL’S ANGELS for director Tony Scott and Fox. Both of those are priority projects and his adaptation of the Lawrence Block novel A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES was resurrected by Cross Creek Pictures for DJ Caruso to direct.
