AND THEN THERE WERE NONE: Fox Buys Christie Novel Rights For THE IMITATION GAME's Morten Tyldum
Deadline is reporting that 20th Century Fox has bought the rights for Agatha Christie's classic mystery novel And Then There Were None and they have tapped The Imitation Game's Morten Tyldum to direct it. 

The novel follows 10 strangers who are tempted to come to Soldier Island for different reasons. They soon realize they were brought there under false pretenses and are trapped, and are being bumped off one by one for crimes we learn they committed but were never punished for. They begin to realize that the killer is one of the 10.

Eric Haisserer (The ThingFinal Destination 5 and A Nightmare on Elm Street) is adapting the novel to screen. I feel like it should be alarming that a writer of higher octane scary movies should be adapting a classic whodunit. 

Tyldum has been on our radar since his adaptation of Joe Nesbo's Headhunters. He is also attached to the adaptation of William Gibson's Pattern Recognition from his Blue Ant trilogy.
