Torso Update with Bill Mechanic

By Gus Martinez on 10.28.2008

Film adaptation of the Marc Andreyko and Brian Michael Bendis' graphic novel, Torso, is generating a lot of Hollywood Buzz.  According to Collider who sat down with producer Bill Mechanic, David Fincher is attached to direct the film with rumors of Jake Gyllenhaal and Matt Damon leading the cast.

Torso tells the story of the real life "Torso Murderer", a serial killer who was active during 1934 to 1938. He received his nickname because he left only the torsos of his victims. Without fingerprints or dental records, these victims were very difficult to identify in a time before DNA testing. The investigator on the case was Eliot Ness, Cleveland chief of police and former head of the Untouchables.
