Wahlberg in Ellroy's Black Dahlia

Mark Wahlberg and Josh Hartnett have joined the team to bring James Ellroy’snovel, The Black Dahlia, to the screen, according to Empire Movies. In fact, I’m watching the IMDB update as I type!!

Still not able to see past Marky Mark? I read the book a long time ago, and I’ve been waiting for them to scribe it into a movie. I just knew that it would make a great film. It has it all, and even with Marky Mark in the lead role, this movie will be hot! Rumors have it that David Fincher had his butt in the Director’s Chair for this one, but it now has Brian De Palma at the helm.

James Ellroy not ringing a bell for you? How About Kevin Spacey and Russell Crowe in L.A. Confidential? How about Kurt Russell in Dark Blue? He wrote the novels both movies were based on. He writes a solid and enthralling Cop-novel, a genre I find hard to read. His novels, on the other hand, set a new standard for the genre.

Ohhh..the tingles down my spine! I can’t wait!
