Universal Pictures has acquired the film rights to Richard Aleas’ 2004 crime novel “Little Girl Lost” reports Entertainment Weekly.
The story centers on John Blake, an NYU dropout-turned-private-investigator who learns his high school girlfriend who he thought went to medical school actually became a stripper and has been murdered.
Jonathan Levine (“The Wackness,” “I’m With Cancer”) is set to direct while “Scott Pilgrim vs. the World” co-writer Michael Bacall is attached to write the screenplay.
