Alex Holmes, one of the directors of HBO's "House of Saddam," has been tapped to helm a not-yet-titled film about auto industry maverick John DeLorean that is being produced by Xyz Films, Time Inc. Studios, and producer Tamir Ardon.
The script, which Holmes is developing with co-writer Rob Warr, is based on rights controlled by DeLorean's son Zachary DeLorean, the executor of the DeLorean estate. Additional rights secured by producers include John's own unpublished memoirs, articles from Fortune and Time magazines and Hillel Levin's book "Grand Delusions."
Holmes and Warr previously collaborated on the BAFTA Award winning BBC TV series "Dunkirk."
The film will tell how the auto exec was caught in an FBI drug trafficking sting but was acquitted on grounds of entrapment.
Holmes is also adapting Robert Mazur's book about Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel for 2929 Prods., as well as rewriting and adapting Jed Rubenfeld...

Ah, murder. So many ways to die. So many ways to interprete death. Where to start? Well Variety tells us that Warner Bros has a pretty good idea for a jumping-off point as they've brought on Alex Holmes to rewrite and direct the feature film version of Jed Rubenfeld's novel The Interpretation of Murder.
The story follows a Sigmund Freud protege who discovers a trail of sadistic murders in turn-of-the-century New York.
Not much else is known at press time, but we'll keep an eye out for more. That's what we do. Well, that and we're really good at origami. I can paper-fold a Pterodactyl in like five minutes flat, ya know. Pretty sweet.
