Neil LaBute Adapting Novel The Burnt Orange Heresy

I’ve always enjoyed LaBute’s films, but he’s had a couple of clunkers in a row. Technically clunkers, at least, as both The Wicker Man and Lakeview Terrace are pretty damned entertaining, even if they’re not always entertaining in the ways intented. There’s no cast or studio set yet for this picture, but I’m always ready to see another film dive into Willeford’s unsettling sun-drenched crime stories.
