United Artists hired Timothy J. Sexton to write TIMECRIMES, an adaptation of Spanish-language film LOS CRONOCRIMENES, per THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.
Steven Zaillian and Agnes Metre are producing the noir thriller about a man who travels back in time 30 minutes to prevent a serious crime. The rights were acquired by UA in January, when the original, from Nacho Vigalondo, aired at Sundance.
Sexton helped write the Academy Award nominee CHILDREN OF MEN and has worked on various TV projects like HBO's LIVE FROM BAGHDAD.
