Script Report: ID
November 19th, 2001
For a a mid-six-figure sum, Columbia has snatched up British playwright and screenwriter Michael Cooney's newest screenplay titled, ID.
Project was initially set up last week with Sony's specialized films arm, Screen Gems. But after producer Konrad had husband Mangold read it, the helmer of GIRL, INTERRUPTED decided he wanted to make it his next project. ID will now be getting a bigger budget treatment and a release by Columbia Pictures.
Story follows 10 strangers who are stranded at a desert motel by a violent storm and quickly find themselves being murdered (think TEN LITTLE INDIANS). Soon accusations fly before a final twist that reveals the true identity of the killer.
Mangold has written or co-written all his films so it is most likely he'll do some dabbling with the script and rewrite parts of it.
