Roland Emmerich’s Centropolis Entertainment recently picked up the crime thriller spec Scarletville from Jason Young. The script, which briefly landed on the Black List, is described as a cross between Blood Simple and Red Rock West.
When a deadly criminal shows up in the deceptively-quiet, small town of Scarletville, a diner owner named Hank must spin a series of dark and twisted stories, in order to delay the felon long enough for the law to arrive.
