You knew it was only a matter of time before this happened. Screenwriters Eric Johnson and Paul Tamasay have optioned the rights to Boston Strong, an upcoming book by true crime author Casey Sherman and Boston Herald reporter Dave Wedge that covers the Boston Marathon bombings that took place on April 15th of this year, the city of Boston’s reaction to the tragedy, and the manhunt to find the brothers who were responsible for it.

The book isn’t due out until sometime next year, but as we’ve seen happening more and more often lately, Hollywood isn’t fond of waiting around decades to make movies about significant news stories anymore.
