Gavin O'Connor Set To "Tell No One"

Variety reports that Jane Got A Gun and Warrior helmer Gavin O'Connor will call the shots on the new film adaptation of author Harlan Coben's novel  Tell No One,


The story follows a pediatrician out on a lake with his wife when she suddenly vanishes and he is attacked. She turns up dead and is declared the victim of a serial killer. Years later, more bodies turn up and the doctor becomes the prime suspect, while at the same time he is given evidence that his wife wasn’t dead at all and has gone into hiding for something related to the work she did.

The project stalled following the departure of Ben Affleck who was slated to direct. With O'Connor taking over, development has resumed using the existing adapted script by Chris Terrio ("Argo").

Frank Marshall is producing the film.

The story was first brought to the screen in the 2006" hit French film directed by Guillaume Canet starring François Cluzet and Kristin Scott Thomas.
