Let’s get straight to the point with this one. We have another big screen adaptation on the road, and this time it’s Thomas Perry crime novel Strip!
Yeah, believe it or not, but we have Aaron Stockard, man behind The Town and Gone Baby Gone script in charge for the whole thing, so…this could be something interesting? Don’t know, maybe…
At this moment we know that RT Features and Thunder Road Pictures are behind the project, while RT’s Rodrigo Teixeira and Thunder Road’s Basil Iwanyk will produce with RT’s Fernando Loureiro on board as the executive producer. Not bad team, at all.
Anyway, the project centers on the robbery of a strip club owner who sends his mob buddies onto the streets to find out who stole his cash. When his henchmen pin the heist on Joe Carver, Carver gives them the slip and turns the tables on the gangsters themselves.
Still, I’m quite sure you’re interested to hear more details about the story, so, check out this description:
“Aging strip-club owner Manco Kapak orders his boys to find the masked man who stole his cash receipts and take care of him. The boys settle on the wrong guy, L.A. newcomer Joe Carver, who decides to fight back. Jefferson Davis Falkins, the real thief, decides to continue to rob Kapak. LAPD Lt.
Nick Slosser is mainly interested in keeping the peace – and keeping his two marriages a secret as well as figuring out how to pay for five kids at or nearing college age. Other meaty roles include Carrie Carr, who hooks up with Falkins and becomes a Bonnie Parker–like adrenaline junkie urging him to ever riskier deeds, and Spence, Kapak’s trusted bodyguard and the only one smart enough to deal with Carver. Perry’s exquisite timing and finesse provide near perfect endings to the multiple story lines and make this escapist reading at its best.”
