Media Murder for Monday

It's the start of a new week and that means it's time for a brand-new roundup of crime drama news:THE BIG SCREEN/MOVIESNeon is moving the Chloe Domont-directed thriller, A Place in Hell, from a Christmas Day release to April 23, 2027. The project centers on a successful cutthroat criminal defense attorney (played by five-time Oscar nominee Michelle Williams) who is on the verge of making partner when she sees her ambitions upended after a younger lawyer is brought in to replace her, and their rivalry escalates into a dangerous battle for control. Andrew Scott also stars. Billy Zane (Titanic), John Billingsley (Unspeakable: The Murder of JonBenét Ramsey), Scottie Thompson (NCIS) and Bonnie Root (Don’t Let Them Out) have signed on to star in writer-director-actor Philippe Caland’s neo noir thriller, Milliseconds. The film is billed as a complex mystery about a reclusive former painter who becomes drawn into an investigation involving a suicide hotline, unraveling long-buried connections and hidden truths from the past. The cast also includes Elijah Lynn Langston, making his feature film debut, along with Kevin Ryan, Don Wallace, and Jason Lee Daniel. The first trailer dropped for the remake of The Thomas Crown Affair starring Michael B. Jordan in the title role. The film centers on a debonair art thief (Jordan) who goes toe-to-toe with an insurance investigator smart enough to catch him (Adria Arjona). The 1968 movie focused on a rich playboy (Steve MacQueen) who steals art and co-starred Faye Dunaway, playing the insurance investigator who is every bit his match in a sultry game of chess. In the 1999 Pierce Brosnan version, the protag meets his match in an insurance investigator played by Rene Russo. TELEVISION/STREAMINGApple TV has acquired the rights to Colson Whitehead's “Harlem” trilogy and is in early development on an ongoing series based on the bestselling crime novels. The books include 2021’s Harlem Shuffle, 2023’s Crook Manifesto, and the recently published Cool Machine. Graham Yost (Silo) and Aric Avelino (American Gun) are adapting the books for the small screen. Whitehead’s trilogy is set in New York and spans the 1950s through the 1980s. Blending crime fiction with social satire, the series follows Ray Carney, a furniture salesman who can’t help but be drawn into the criminal underworld of Harlem. Previously, Whitehead’s novel, The Underground Railroad, was made into a 2021 miniseries for Amazon Prime Video, and his 2019 book, The Nickel Boys, inspired the 2024 film directed by RaMell Ross, which was Oscar-nominated for best picture and best adapted screenplay. Both novels won the Pulitzer Prize.
