Eve White: Literary Agent

Olive Productions, the new production company formed by Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs/ Fargo/ Sopranos/ Ghostworld) and Stanley Tucci (Devil Wears Prada, Big Night, Road to Perdition) and their producing partner Wren Arthur have optioned The Ice Cream Con by Jimmy Docherty as a project they will jointly produce with The Gotham Group and Barry Cunningham. The producers are looking to hire a screenwriter to adapt the novel, and as is the case with most of Olive’s projects, Tucci or Buscemi might direct as well. Olive has a vast slate of projects in development both in TV and in the feature arena.  The deal was done by Gotham’s Julie Kane-Ritsch and Barry Cunningham at the Chicken House.

Barry Says:

‘Jimmy Docherty and I are delighted that one of our true heroes of modern cinema has seen the humour and the drama in Jimmy’s characters’
