The Man From Rome/Seville Communion

I'm happy to announce my writing work on THE MAN FROM ROME, a film in development that is the adaptation of Arturo Perez-Riverte's novel "The Seville Communion."  A plot summary:  

A computer hacker penetrates Vatican security and sends an urgent anonymous plea to the pope. Handsome Father Quart, of the church's Institute of External Affairs, an arm of the Vatican intelligence, is dispatched to investigate. The message of the hacker concerns a crumbling 17th century Baroque church in the heart of Seville that apparently "kills to defend itself".

Here is an IMDB page for the project:  http://m.imdb.com/title/tt4194974/fullcredits?ref_=m_tt_cl_scc

Here is my IMDB page (which will be growing in the next couple weeks as I add all my projects):  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm8884862/

THE MAN FROM ROME is a great project.  Watch for it as it goes from script to screen.
