 By Josh Tarpley Paul Greengrass (“Captain Phillips,” “Jason Bourne”) has lined up his next project over at Paramount Pictures and it has prohibition-era America as its setting. Greengrass will partner with screenwriter Brian Helgeland (“L.A. Confidential,” “42”) to create “Ness,” an adaptation of the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Andreyko. The film will focus on famed prohibition agent Eliot Ness and looks to be something new for the Bourne director. Click beyond the jump to learn more about “Ness.” If the name “Eliot Ness” rings a bell that is because his exploits were already explored in Brian De Palma’s “The Untouchables.” That is not to say that “Ness” will be treading the same waters, there is a lot of material one can explore when it comes to this genre of filmmaking. “Ness” will tell the story of the real life “Torso Murderer,” a serial killer who would only leave the torsos of his victims. With Eliot Ness taking on countless investigations, Paramount is hoping this is a franchise starter for them.
What is interesting here is that Greengrass is taking on the project. Whether it be “Green Room” (a film he collaborated with Helgeland on) or his work on the Bourne franchise, we pretty much know what the Greengrass aesthetic is. Will Greengrass be bringing his infamous handheld cinematography to this 30’s crime drama, or will he opt for a more traditional filming style? Even though 2016’s “Jason Bourne” was a disappointment, any project that Greengrass is attached to ought to be anticipated. His work on “United 93” and “Captain Phillips” is some of the most effective real-life storytelling out there. Whether it be “The Bourne Supremacy” or “The Bourne Ultimatum,” we know that Greengrass is a master when it comes to action filmmaking. Though we have not seen him work in this time frame before, his filmography shows us that he can tackle any story with skill. What do you guys think? Do you think Greengrass is a good fit for an Eliot Ness film? Are you familiar with the graphic novel? Let us know in the comments below!
