Eric Eisner, Gil Adler and Shane McCarthy will team up to produce Havana Nocturne, adapted from T.J. English's Havana Nocturne: How the Mob Owned Cuba . . . and Then Lost It to the Revolution (Harper Paperbacks, $15.99, 9780061712746/0061712744), according to the Hollywood Reporter. Matt Cirulnick will write the script.

"We really want to show Havana and Cuba as a character at a time that it's booming," Eisner said. "This is about mobsters who don't only control a few business but try to control an entire country, and the tension that results when their plans go awry."

The Hollywood Reporter added that the producers haven't decided yet "how hard to seek permission to shoot in Cuba. In the past 50 years, the government has been highly restrictive about allowing U.S. crews into the country. Consequently, many Cuba-set pictures are shot in other Caribbean nations such as Dominican Republic."
