LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy is quite literally doing as its name suggests – taking the Star Wars galaxy that we know and love and remaking it, in a way. Good characters are bad, bad characters are good, and most importantly, we’ll get to see a nearly decade-long fan theory finally become a reality. […]

The post LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy Is Finally Making This Fan Theory a Reality appeared first on Den of Geek.

There’s been a murduh! There have been multiple murders, in fact, between the pages of these crime novels, all of which are on their way to the screen. Featuring Nordic noir, dark comedy, secret-infested thrillers, literary detective novels and cosy crime, this little bunch of books have all been optioned, and will, industry-willing, be seen in cinemas and on TV before too long.

If you want to get ahead of the curve when they blast onto Netflix and the like, then get reading. After all, these mysteries won’t solve themselves…

Dark Pines by Will Dean (2018)

The first in Will Dean’s Tuva Moodyson novels, Dark Pines is set in rural Sweden (where the British writer now lives) but the planned TV adaptation will apparently relocate the action to the wilds of Scotland instead. The six-books-and-counting series tells the story of Tuva, a deaf journalist whose investigations into local crime lead her into intrigue and danger. In Dark Pines, Tuva is working on a small paper when a serial killer who’s been dormant for decades starts up business again in her community. Atmospheric, chilling, surprising and above all, led by a great central character, the Tuva books were always destined for a screen adaptation. EastEnders and Code of Silence’s Rose Ayling-Ellis is attached to play the lead, with playwright Charlotte Jones on adaptation duties.

How To Kill Your Family by Bella Mackie (2021)

This darkly comic revenge story was a huge hit for novelist Bella Mackie on publication, and it’s set to get even bigger with the news that Netflix is making a TV adaptation starring Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa, Peaky Blinders, The Queen’s Gambit). It’s an ‘eat the rich’ story for our times in the White Lotus, The Menu and Succession mould, about the illegitimate daughter of an extremely wealthy man who gets revenge on his whole dynasty after he wrongs her and her mother. Taylor-Joy is the perfect choice to play glamorous, unhinged antihero Grace, and this one promises to be cruel fun.

Missing You by Harlan Coben (2014)

By now, we know the score with Harlan Coben thrillers: 20-odd years ago, A Thing happened, and now it’s back to bite someone on the bum – usually someone whose bum you could bounce a 10p coin off due to their strict Pilates/Hockey/Golfing regime, and who lives in a well-appointed detached six-bed with kerb appeal and Smeg appliances. There will be twists and revelations at regular intervals, and the whole thing will be ludicrous fun. Missing You, based on this 2014 novel, is the next British Coben adaptation from the team behind Fool Me Once, Stay Close and more. It’s coming to Netflix and is the story of a detective named Kat suddenly confronted on an online dating app by the ex-fiancé who disappeared decades earlier. Expect conspiracy, peril and secrets springing out like snakes in a prank can of nuts.

Playdate by Alex Dahl (2020)

A novel that ended up on several ‘Best Thriller’ roundups on publication, this nightmare scenario is about to become a five-part Disney+ series starring Holliday Grainger (Strike), Ambika Mod (
