Developing new series for HBO and Fox21
Variety reports that Charlize Theron and filmmaker David Fincher have teamed to develop a drama series titled Mind Hunter for HBO and Fox 21 revolving around the investigation of serial killers.
The show will be loosely based on the book Mind Hunter: Inside the FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker. The book recounts Douglas’ experiences as a top FBI investigator of serial killers and rapists, and the profiling techniques he developed. Scott Buck, an exec producer on Showtime’s hit series Dexter is set to script the pilot.
Theron is producing through her Denver and Delilah banner, which she runs with Beth Kono and J.J. Harris. Fincher of course helmed the movies Se7en and Zodiac, both based on the investigation of serial killers. More when we hear it.
