When Hollywood needs ideas, it turns the page...

Graham Greene will once again be adapted for the big screen, this time from his novel Brighton Rock.

From The Hollywood Reporter:

"British actress [Andrea Riseborough] will play the female lead opposite Sam Riley in the pic based on the Graham Greene novel....[The story] centers on a small-time gangster who kills a rival and finds his life in turmoil as he faces blackmail threats from a waitress (Riseborough) who knows about the murder."

The most famous Greene adaptation is Carol Reed's version of The Third Man -- which you can now purchase along with the book for 25% off!

With the release of Inglourious Basterds mere weeks away, one might wonder what Quentin Tarantino has lined up as his next project.

Yahoo offers up a few insights from the man himself:

"One of the things I am musing about doing is the trilogy of Len Deighton books, Berlin Game, Mexico Set and London Match. The story takes place in the Cold War and follows a spy name Bernard Samson. What is attractive is the really great characters and the wonderful opportunities of British and German casting."
