Austin Butler is set to star in the crime drama ‘City on Fire’.
Fresh off his Oscar nomination for Elvis, Austin Butler will star in and produce the epic crime drama City on Fire for Sony 3000. It will be based on the first in a trilogy of Don Winslow novels. Deadline reports that Butler will star as aspiring New England gangster Danny Ryan, who matures from street thug to ruthless gang leader as he battles rival gangs, the local police, and the federal government.
In the book, which spans decades and draws inspiration from the epics of Ancient Greek literature, a modern-day Helen of Troy brings the two reigning crime families of New England, one Irish and one Italian, into an all-out war. City on Fire was published last year; the sequel, City of Dreams, will be published later this month. The concluding book of the trilogy, City in Ruins, is forthcoming. Sony hopes to adapt the entire trilogy.
