FROM SPLASH PAGE: Big news could be on the horizon for David Fincher's long-awaited adaptation of "Torso," Brian Bendis and Marc Andreyko's award-winning comic book series based on the true story of Cleveland's "Torso Murderer" and the investigation by "Untouchables" leader Eliot Ness -- but it might not be good news.
According to EW.com, Paramount's rights to the much-anticipated project are set to expire on December 15, leaving precious little time to bring the film out of production limbo, where it has idled for several years now despite the presence of Fincher and rumored attachment of high-profile actors Matt Damon, Casey Affleck and Rachel McAdams. The studio recently reported that it received a final script from "The Ring" screenwriter Ehren Kruger and would make a decision before the rights to the film expired.
