Studiocanal is behind the project that will adapt The Killer (or The Hunter in the United Kingdom), the first book in the series, for the big screen. But the film must have gone well since THR reports Morel is reteaming with its producers, Andrew Rona and Alex Heineman from The Picture Company, for an adaptation of Tom Wood's Victor the Assassin book series.
There's a chance he might deliver something cool with The Gunman, starring Sean Penn, which arrives in February of 2015, but we can't be sure since we've yet to see a trailer. There was From Paris with Love, which had its moments, but it was hardly a success. Just funny that one reader, voicing a character by a particular author can make you cheer for the character, while another narrator reading from the same can make you wish the character would be killed off.Since revitalizing and reshaping the career of Liam Neeson with Taken, director Pierre Morel hasn't really done much to write home about. Shapiro was a bit more smug and charismatic. Philpott made the character sound bitchy and catty. I'd listen to a sentence or two of Philpott's portrayal of Victor (main character - the Assassin and all that!) and compare it to how I'd imagine Shapiro voicing it from the first book. I don't know if I would have necessarily picked up the second in the series had I listened to the first by Philpott.
Shapiro did such a great job, brought a lot of depth to the characters. Listening to the third book - The Game - narrated by Daniel Philpott (Amazon vs. I read the second book - The Enemy - in paperback and developed a deep emotional man-crush on myself. I listened to the first book in the series - The Killer - and developed a deep emotional man-crush on Rob Shapiro.
