Tom Cruise and United Artists have acquired the rights to the Douglas Preston book The Monster of Florence. Cruise is attached to the project to produce and possibly to star in it. 

Preston and Italo journo Mario Spezi told Corriere della Sera they have inked with UA for a big-screen adaptation of their reconstruction of eight grisly double homicides believed to have been committed single-handedly between 1968 and 1985 in and around the Italian Renaissance gem.

“It’s the biggest movie deal in my life,” the leading Italo daily quoted Preston as saying in a front page story. Previous Preston tomes made into movies include thriller “The Relic.”

This is clearly not a part of Cruise’s more recent turn toward comedy.
