A TV adaptation of Jeffrey Deaver’s “Bone Collector” book is in the works, with NBC greenlighting a drama from writers VJ Boyd and Mark Bianculli (“S.W.A.T.”), Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television.
“Lincoln”, written by Boyd and Bianculli, retells the story told in the 1999 film “The Bone Collector” starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. In it, forensic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme, who was seriously injured during his hunt for the diabolic serial killer known as the Bone Collector, is called back into action when the killer re-emerges. Lincoln forms a unique partnership with Amelia Sachs, a young beat cop who helps him hunt the deadly mastermind while also taking on the most high-profile cases in the NYPD.
Deaver’s original book spawned ten sequels, all of which will be used as the basis for stories in the series.
Deadline first reported the news.
