Black Label Media Options Patrick Hoffman’s ‘The White Van’; Grant Singer To Direct


Black Label Media has taken rights to Patrick Hoffman’s debut crime novel The White Van to develop as a feature for filmmaker Grant Singer.

Evoking crime novelists like Dennis Lehane and gritty seventies films like Dog Day Afternoon, the line between good and evil blurs as criminals, cops, and hustlers collide in the unforgiving underbelly of San Francisco. Prior to Reptile, Singer’s directing career in the music video world counted works with The Weeknd, Lorde, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Skrillex, Sam Smith, Future, Slowdive, and Troye Sivan, among others. Winterlight Pictures, an IP-driven independent production company founded by Goldberg, is producing The Maid, based on the #1 NYT Bestselling phenomenon written by Nita Prose, as well as 20+ other projects with partners such as Plan B, 87North, 87Eleven, HartBeat, Toby Emmerich’s Fireside and many others.
