Henceforth Pictures, the production company of "The Departed" and "Kingdom of Heaven" screenwriter William Monahan, recently did a two-year first-look deal with Paramount Pictures.
A new project to come out of that deal will be the true-crime conspiracy thriller "The Throwaways," based on a 2012 New Yorker article by Sarah Stillman. Monahan will write and produce.
The piece explores a kind of twisted real life 'Suicide Squad' - in this case cops enlisting young offenders as informants, sending them off on high-risk assignments without back-up.
Invariably the results proved fatal, such as in the case of 23-year-old Rachel Hoffman who was shot to death after the police lost track of her three weeks into her assignment.

Earlier this year screenwriter and occasional director William Monahan made a two-year first-look deal with Paramount, via his Henceforth Pictures banner. The latest possible future project to come out of it is The Throwaways, a true-crime conspiracy thriller based on a 2012 New Yorker article.The original New Yorker piece by Sarah Stillman exposed a dodgy practice in which cops were enlisting young offenders as informants, sending them off on high-risk assignments with little-to-no back-up. Sometimes the results were fatal, as in the case of Rachel Hoffman, a 23-year-old busted for weed, ecstacy and valium possession, who chose to cooperate with the police rather than face jail. Just three weeks into her assignement she was shot to death after the police lost track of her. Hers is just one story of many similar.It's ground covered recently in Ric Roman Waugh's Snitch, starring Dwayne Johnson as an aggrieved and vengeful father.
