"Crash" co-scribe Bobby Moresco has adapted the script and is set to direct the indie crime thriller "The Harbor" says Variety.
Based on J.P. O'Donnell's "Deadly Codes", the story follows a discredited former Boston narcotics cop turned private investigator who takes on an intriguing murder case which ends up being a part of a government conspiracy. Filming kicks off this Fall.
Moresco has also turned in the script and is in negotiating to direct a modern-day adaptation of Koreyoshi Kurahara's 1960 noir "Intimidation" to Japanese studio Nikkatsu.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and though we haven't read it, we're going to assume that Jp O'Donnell's "Deadly Codes" isn't exactly a literary masterwork. But clearly, "Crash" writer Bobby Moresco has seen something movie-worthy in the material as he's setting it up as his next directorial project.
While primarily known as the screenwriter for Paul Haggis' divisive Oscar-winner, Moresco has also gotten behind the camera, most notably for gangster flick "10th & Wolf" as well as for episodes for the since-canceled series "The Black Donnellys" and "Crash" (both of which had Haggis working on them as well). He's also been busy as a screenwriter penning "Castro's Daughter," which will star Antonio Banderas, and is doing a rewrite on Todd Field's gangster tale "Hubris." All this to say that the man is no neophyte, but right now his focus seems to be on directing.
