‘Lock Artist’ May Get Hollywood Treatment

Screenwriter Shane Salerno has acquired the film rights to Steve Hamilton’s excellent 2012 Minotaur thriller, THE LOCK ARTIST.

Salerno also is working with director Oliver Stone to adapt Don Winslow’s novel SAVAGES, for release this summer.

THE LOCK ARTIST is a fantastic read that focuses on a mute young man who has the skill to open any lock. The novel took home this year’s Edgar Award for Best Novel.

No date has been announced for the film adaptation, and there is no word yet on potential cast or directors.
