German director Uwe Boll (“Postal,” “Bloodrayne,” “Alone in the Dark”) will return to international filmmaking with “Ness,” a $25 million movie about famed ‘untouchable’ crime fighter Eliot Ness who took down Al Capone.
In Boll’s film, the story takes place years later as Ness tries to catch a serial killer known as ‘The Butcher of Kingsbury Run’ who was responsible for a number of grisly murders in a Cleveland shantytown.
Whitney Scott Bain wrote the screenplay, basing the story on a true-life case. Boll plans to direct and produce. Casting is now underway with shooting to begin next year.
Boll is also working on a documentary series on the notorious Banditos motorcycle gang which is at the center of a major criminal court case in Germany.
