Positively filmic

Congrats first to Duane Swierczynski, who revealed the news yesterday that Michelle Monaghan has optioned the rights for THE BLONDE, with Paul Leyden attached to write. It also behooves me to report that Leyden is best known for playing Simon Frasier on ATWT, where he was sometimes part of a supercouple with Katie, whose character wrote a mystery novel called OAKDALE CONFIDENTIAL. Ah, six degrees…

And speaking of TV, Lee Goldberg reports that TNT is developing a series based on Tess Gerritsen’s novels.
