“Training Day” director Antoine Fuqua is set to return to yet another film about crime and criminals, with an adaptation of the French graphic novel “Miss: Better Living Through Crime” written by Philippe Thirault, Marc Riou and Mark Vigouroux.
The project, being produced by Spike Lee, follows a black pimp and poor white girl in early 1900s New York who become killers for hire. John Ridley, who recently wrote the forthcoming “Red Tails” for George Lucas will be adaptating the pretty cool sounding premise for the big screen. Let’s just hope this project goes a bit more smoothly from production to the cinemas than Fuqua’s last effort “Brooklyn’s Finest.”
That film debuted at Sundance where it was purchased by Senator for seven figures, who then said they were going with Fuqua to re-cut the picture’s apparently grim ending. Overture has since stepped in and purchased the film from Senator, have hopefully let Fuqua’s vision stand, and will be releasing the film in theaters on March 5, 2010.
