The Big Picture Last year, it was announced that Elvis and Dune: Part Two headliner Austin Butler would be starring in and producing an adaptation of the gangster novel City on Fire for Sony's 3000 Pictures. Now, the project finally has a heavy-hitting writer attached, as Justin Kuritzkes will pen the film's script, according to Deadline.
The novel series serves as a modern retelling of the classic Greek works the Iliad and the Odyssey. While development on additional films has not been officially announced, the third and final book in Winslow's trilogy, City in Ruins, was published this past March, so it is possible the rest of the series could be greenlit. Butler will produce for the first time in his career alongside David Heyman for Heyday Films and Shane Salerno for The Story Factory.
Kuritzkes isn't done working with Guadanino, either; he also penned the script for Queer, an adaptation of William S. Burroughs' 1985 novel that Guadanino will direct. That film will star Daniel Craig alongside Drew Starkey and Lesley Manville.
