Liam Neeson to take A Walk Amongst the Tombstones

Can’t get enough Liam Neeson? Well, here’s another tidbit for you.

Neeson has signed on for A WALK AMONGST THE TOMBSTONES. The film is being adapted from Lawrence Block’s novel series about character Matt Scudder. Does that name sound familiar? It should.

Jeff Bridges played Scudder in 1986’s 8 MILLION WAYS TO DIE. Okay, maybe you don’t remember it.

Scott Frank (MINORITY REPORT) has scripted the film which centers on, “Scudder at the time he’s an ex-NYPD cop and unlicensed private detective and recovering alcoholic. He’s hired to find the kidnapped wife of a drug dealer. In the process, he discovers that the kidnappers have done this before and it has led to brutal murders.”

A WALK AMONGST THE TOMBSTONES will begin production in New York in February of 2013.
