Exclusive: Solstice Studios has optioned feature film rights to Reeves Wiedeman’s New York Magazine article “The Big Hack,” which depicts what experts describe as a plausible doomsday disaster scenario caused by a wide-scale cyberattack on New York City. The recent Colonial pipeline hack purportedly executed by a Russian ransomware group that is spiking gas prices on the East Coast makes the cautionary tale timely.
The article paints a scenario where hackers gain control of everything from the ignition and steering wheels of cars to hospital computers, subways and electricity, plunging the city into total chaos. All of these and other systems are subject to black hat hackers that simply sent Usb sticks to engineers that operate power facilities, promising explanation of benefits. When some of those engineers plugged in the Usb sticks at work, hackers had control. The article appears in the June 13 issue of the mag.

Exclusive Producers Webster Stone and Robert Stone have acquired rights to Anthony Bourdain’s crime novel Gone Bamboo for a scripted series based on a pilot. The 1997 book was the celebrity chef’s second published work of fiction.
Set on the island of St. Martin, Gone Bamboo follows sharpshooting hedonistic assassin Henry Denard, who botches a career-capping hit. Denard must enlist the help of his skilled, stunning, and volatile wife to save their skins, dispatch the villains, and keep the peace — at all costs — in their tropical paradise.
“I wanted to write a sociopath beach book,” writes Bourdain in the book’s introduction. “I wanted a hero and heroine as lazy, mercenary, lustful and free of redeeming qualities as I sometimes see myself.”
The Stone brothers’ producing credits include The Conspirator, Gone in Sixty Seconds and The Negotiator. They’re currently developing the recently published thriller Girl from Nowhere by...

Anthony Bourdain is an acclaimed chef who has recovered from drug addiction, hosted a handful of TV shows, and written several books and novels. So yes, he's probably done more today than you'll do all month, and the latest Bourdain associated project coming is "Bone In The Throat," based on his debut piece of fiction. It hits SXSW this weekend, and the first trailer has arrived. Ed Westwick, Tom Wilkinson, Rupert Graves, Vanessa Kirby, John Hannah, Steve Mackintosh, and Andy Nyman star in the first feature from director Graham Henman about a talented young chef who is being pulled in the East End London mob scene by his uncle, and must fight to survive. So yes, it's a pulpy tale that just happens to revolve around life in the kitchen, rather than something aiming for a more accurate view of life behind the stove. We'll see how many Michelin stars...

Following a busy week of sales and acquisitions at Cannes, here's a round-up of some of the more interesting and noteworthy projects that were recently added to IMDbPro's database of in-development titles:
A Confederacy of Dunces – John Kennedy Toole's popular posthumous tale of a cynical slob named Ignatius J. Reilly has been one of those "development hell" projects we thought would never get made. But, we said the same thing about The Watchmen once and Karouac's On the Road, which recently premiered at Cannes. So, never say never. Muppets director James Bobin is reportedly in talks with Paramount to finally bring this book that once had Steven Soderbergh attached to helm, to the big screen with Zach Galifianakis as the lead.
Jane Got a Gun – Natalie Portman is set to star in this Western drama for Scottish filmmaker Lynne Ramsay (We Need to Talk About Kevin). Written by Black List finalist Brian Duffield, the film centers on a woman trying to defend her homestead when a posse comes after her outlaw husband.
Mad Dogs and Englishmen – Colin Firth's taking on yet another historic role, albeit a more whimsical one than King George VI. The Oscar winner has been tapped to play British playwright and showman Noel Coward in this comedy about the entertainer's stint as a Vegas performer (filling in for an ailing Liberace) during the 1950s. Ross Elliot and Gene Kirkwood produce with a script by Willy Holtzman.
Untitled Wes Anderson Project – Hot off his Cannes' standing ovation for Moonrise Kingdom (and a record-breakingdebut at the box office) indie maven Wes Anderson plans to reunite with his old pal Owen Wilson in his next film, which has already been written and hopes to begin filming by the end of the year.
Bone In The Throat – On the eve of landing his CNN-hosting gig, bad boy chef, world traveller and Kitchen Confidential scribe Anthony Bourdain has optioned his latest best seller to Dignity Film's Maggie Monteith to produce along with Lenny Beckerman and Peter Heslop.
