3000 Pictures Taps Justin Kuritzkes To Adapt Don Winslow's 'City On Fire' For Austin Butler As 'Barbie Producer David Heyman Boards Trilogy
Kuritzkes is hot off the Luca Guadanino-directed Zendaya-starrer Challengers, and Butler is producing along with David Heyman of Heyday Films and Shane Salerno and The Story Factory. Winslow’s swan song trilogy – the final installment City in Ruins is just landing on the bestseller lists after being published by William Morrow – is a modern retelling of the Iliad, Odyssey, Aeneid and Greek tragic dramas set in the world of contemporary crime. Butler will play the main character, Danny Ryan, who is forced to grow from a street soldier into a ruthlessly efficient leader to protect his friends, his family and the home he loves.
