Another adaptation is heading our way to bring a little bit of mystery into our lives, and we’ve got all the details ready and waiting for you right here! Minus the inevitable twist ending of course.

According to THR Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) will now get behind the camera for the murder mystery London Fields (replacing David Cronenberg, who was once attached), based on the well known 1989 novel by British author Martin Amis.

London Fields is narrated by an American writer, Samson Young, living in London who has had writer’s block for 20 years and is now terminally ill while other main characters include a psychic woman, Nicola Six, who meets two men in a bar and senses that one of them will murder her on her 35th birthday.

Film rights for London Fields were jointly acquired in 2000 by Tartan Films and US production outfit Muse Productions headed by Chris Hanley (credits include Buffalo 66, The Virgin Suicides, American Psycho, The Killer Inside Me).
