Sharp Pens

127 Hours writer  Simon Beaufoy tells InContention that he's working on a film adaptation of Toby Barlow's werewolf-themed poem Sharp Teeth.

The story follows a trio of werewolves in East Los Angeles. Characters include a lawyer with ambitious plans to takeover the city, a dogcatcher and loner who falls for a beautiful and mysterious woman, and a detective investigating dog-related murders.

Danny Boyle may direct the film version of “Sharp Teeth" but is not on board yet

Beaufoy has been taking ride alongs with LAPD officers in Compton and Watts for research.

Boyle is busy currently working on a soon to premiere stage adaptation of Frankenstein in the UK starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller.
