WIP, Lerner and Friend Adapting Arsonist

Warner Independent Pictures has signed “House” executive producers Garrett Lerner and Russel Friend to adapt Brock Clarke’s best-seller “An Arsonist’s Guide to Writers’ Homes in New England,” says The Hollywood Reporter.

The dark comedy from John Wells Productions centers on Sam Pulsifer, a man who accidentally burns down Emily Dickinson’s home and kills two people in the process. After 10 years in prison and a series of personal and professional disasters, he returns home to live with his parents, only to discover that he’s suspected in a series of nearby fires at historical landmarks. He attempts to find the real criminal and uncovers some family secrets as the mystery unfolds.

JWP’s John Wells and Claire Rudnick Polstein are producing, and Lisa Morales is executive producing.
