May 20, 2007 Kirk D'Amico's production/financing company Myriad Pictures is teaming with Christine Vachon's Killer Films to produce an adaptation of crime writer James Ellroy's memoir "My Dark Places." The producers are in talks with several directors being considered for the film, including Tom Kalin, the helmer of Killer's Festival de Cannes title "Savage Grace."
