Black List screenwriter Matt Cook is set to adapt the Swedish crime novel Three Seconds for the big screen, Variety reports.
Released in 2009 in Sweden (with a translated version hitting the US last year), the novel represents a collaboration between journalist Anders Roslund and former criminal Borge Hellström, telling the intricately-layered story of criminals turned double agents by the Swedish police.
The original article suggests that the massive tome will be significantly trimmed for the feature version, likely focusing on a single storyline from the novel.
