‘Mission Impossible’ and ‘Dune’ star Rebecca Ferguson is in final negotiations to star in Tim Miller’s adaptation of ‘Best Served Cold.’
Based on Joe Abercrombie’s bestselling book of the same name the film tells the story of the legendary mercenary Monza Murcatto (Ferguson), the betrayal that ostracizes her, and her ensuing quest for revenge that will forever change a nation.
Originally published as part of Abercrombie’s ‘First Law World’ series in the summer of 2009, Abercrombie has also adapted the story for the screen.
