AncalagonTheBlack Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Quote Michael Mann has set the first publishing project for his new book imprint Michael Mann Books: he will team up with Don Winslow, the bestselling author of The Cartel to co-create an original novel about the complex relationship between two Organized Crime giants, Tony Accardo and Sam Giancana. The project will be developed into a feature film that Mann will produce and possibly direct, based on the novel and a pre-existing screenplay Mann co-wrote with Shane Salerno. Deadline revealed Mann’s publishing imprint earlier this week, and his plans to work with top notch authors to generate a series of books including a prequel to his 1995 crime classic Heat. http://deadline.com/2016/03/don-winslow-michael-mann-tony-accardo-sam-giancana-the-cartel-michael-mann-books-1201722508/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nictarion Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Sounds promising. Michael Mann does crime films well, and the Chicago Outfit (outside Capone) has been severely underused in the mob movie genre. I remember watching something mediocre with John Turturro years ago where he played Sam Giancana, but I can't think of anything else off the top of my head. I'm definitely interested in this.
