Hitch’s original saw writers Alec Coppel and Samuel A. Taylor adapt Boileau-Narcejac’s novel. from the dead (returned from the dead) in the story of John “Scottie” Ferguson, a San Francisco police detective forced into retirement when he develops a severe fear of heights.
Scottie reluctantly returns to the fray when Gavin Elster (Tom Helmore), a former college acquaintance and shipping magnate, enlists his help in exposing the disturbing behavior of his cold, aloof wife Madeleine (Kim Novak). However, as her intrigued friend ignores Madeleine’s every move, a dangerous attraction begins to form that borders on obsession with her…
Paramount has Steven Knight (yes, the always busy writer/showrunner who recently joined Star Wars movie) as a scripting service for it, e Expiration I heard Downey Jr. was seriously considering the lead. Because as the old saying goes, “when RDJ is ready to do it again, riches and riches will come your way.”
