Ben Jacoby Adapting Thomas Ray Novella ‘Silencer’ For Paramount
'Silencer,' a CIA thriller written by Ben Jacoby, based on a novella by Thomas Ray, is coming together at Paramount Pictures.
An operative who dates back to the dark times of MK Ultra, the target is a silencer — someone who can read minds, and wipe them from a distance, making him impossible to find or catch. NeoText recently sold “H.A.V.E.N.”to Sony Pictures with Carter Blanchard set to adapt his sci-fi short story, described as Men in Black meets Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The company also recently sold a pair of projects to Amazon: an adaptation of the short story “American Criminal,” which Gavin O’Connor will direct and produce alongside Hidden Pictures, as well as a take on novella “D.N.A.” backed by Simon Kinberg’s Genre Films.
