I took this on a run across the bridge and back on October 17, 2012. Crossing the bridge on foot is one of the best NYC experiences.

Nick Wechsler Acquires Michael Koryta’s Forthcoming Novel ‘The Prophet’ for Feature Film Adaptation
Producer Nick Wechsler has
acquired The Prophet, the upcoming Michael Koryta novel that
will be published in August by Little, Brown & Company. Wechsler has
already attached screenwriter Reid Carolin to adapt it. Carolin
and Channing Tatum are partners in Iron Horse Entertainment.
The Prophet is a tale of two distant
brothers in a small Ohio town whose torment over the murder of their sister in
their teens is compounded when another teenaged girl is killed. One of the
brothers is determined to avenge that killing, even if it means committing
murder himself. “We’ve been fans of Michael’s masterful writing for some time,
and know that this powerful new novel is perfect for the screen,” Wechsler
said. “We were drawn to its themes of family, faith and fear, all set against
the backdrop of a gripping serial killer mystery. This story is a perfect mix
of thrills, strong characters, and unbreakable bonds.”
Koryta is currently adapting his novel So Cold The River for
New Regency, and Chris Columbus acquired Koryta’s novel Cypress House, with Columbus writing the script and
directing. Angela Cheng Caplan of Cheng Caplan Company made the deal for David
Hale Smith and Richard Pine of InkWell Management. Lawrence Rose is the lawyer.
Charlie Hardie the All-Star
Duane Swierczynski's character Charlie "Unkillable Chuck" Hardie's first outing FUN & GAMES is nominated for a Barry, Shamus, and now, an Anthony
award. I guess Duane had better go to Cleveland for Bouchercon, after all... J

Brooklyn Bridge from Manhattan Bridge
This was my reward last week for doing a cold early morning run in lower Manhattan. What a view!
