Paramount Pictures has pre-emptively optioned an upcoming novel by Chuck Hogan called The Town for Dick Wolf and Tony Ganz to produce through their Wolf Films production company. The Town tells the story of a group of childhood friends in Boston who went from pulling off small-time heists as kids to full-blown bank robberies as adults. The main character is a recovering alcoholic who is unsatisfied with his life of crime. He ultimately seeks redemption in the love of a female bank manager whom he and his partners took hostage on a previous robbery. Unbeknownst to him, however, the FBI agent on the bank robbery case has fallen for the woman as well.
