Pfeiffen, an independent film and television production company founded by award-winning producer Molly Connors, has optioned Carter Wilson’s best-selling thriller Tell Me What You Did and plans to adapt the novel into a feature film.
Connors will produce the project. A scriptwriter has not yet been decided.
“Carter Wilson’s storytelling is immersive, suspenseful, and deeply psychological, keeping readers turning the pages late into the night,” Connors said. “‘Tell Me What You Did’ is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven story we want to champion at Pfeiffen, and we’re excited to begin shaping its journey to the screen.”
In “Tell Me What You Did,” Wilson explores the effects of guilt, secrets, and buried truths. Mr. Wilson’s books, including “The Father She Went to Find,” “The Dead Husband,” and “The Comfort of Black,” have built a loyal readership and his work has received critical acclaim.
“I’m excited to partner with Molly Connors and the Pfeiffen team to bring ‘Tell Me What You Did’ to life,” said Wilson. “Their passion for compelling stories and commitment to thoughtful, character-driven filmmaking makes them a great home for this project.”
The option is the latest addition to Pfeiffen’s continuing expansion of literary adaptations and original projects in film and television. Mary Alice Kier and Anna Cottle of Cine/Lit Representation handled negotiations on behalf of Carter Wilson.
