Bestselling Author James Houston Turner's Novel, Greco's Game, Optioned By Wonderfilm and TideRock After Bidding War
BEVERLY HILLS -- Wonderfilm Media and TideRock Media have acquired the film and television rights to James Houston Turner's bestselling Aleksandr Talanov series of action thrillers about a former KGB agent who became a spy for America.
Set in Los Angeles against the backdrop of human trafficking and a famous chess game used as an assassination plot, Greco's Game finds Talanov experiencing the murder of his wife, and what starts out as a vendetta to kill the assassin becomes a journey of redemption with the help of two young women being held captive by human traffickers. Other books in the series include November Echo, Department Thirteen, and the soon-to-be-released Dragon Head, with Talanov the fictional character being inspired by the actual KGB agent who once leaked word out of Moscow that Turner was on a watchlist for his smuggling activities behind the old Iron Curtain.
"Hollywood loves discovering hidden treasure, and the Talanov series is such a treasure," says Wonderfilm's Jeffrey Bowler.
