Mission: Black List #1 Book Review/ Future Movie

Rating 4

Hi everyone!

I hope you have had a chance to read MB. It's an excellent story told through the eyes of the main interrogator, Eric Maddox. As many of you may already know, the film is already in pre-production. The director of the film is Jean-Stephane Suvaire and Robert Pattinson (Remember Me, Water For Elephants, Cosmopolis) has been cast as Maddox.

I'm still working on providing some more info other than what I have included below. There are pictures in the book, however for those of you who have not had a chance to get a copy of it, I will include some of those pics as well. Just be patient!
