In the summer of 2004, when Akashic Books published BROOKLYN NOIR, edited by Tim McLoughlin, we never expected it to launch a series. What we had was an editor who was Brooklyn to the bone, born and raised and with generations behind him, visitor to all of the borough's wildly unique neighborhoods and utterly indifferent to the rarified culture of Manhattan's literary elite. Tim's concept was to identify local authors who knew Brooklyn's neighborhoods even better than he did, to ask them to write original stories, and as its editor to celebrate his beloved and diverse home.
Following the partnership on Ron Howard's RUSH, also to be released through Cross Creek's distribution deal with Universal Pictures, the first film being produced and financed under this new far reaching arrangement is the thriller A WALK AMONG THE TOMBSTONES starring Liam Neeson (TAKEN).
