Jason Young

Story details are being kept under wraps.

Roland Emmerich’s Centropolis Entertainment recently picked up the crime thriller spec Scarletville from Jason Young. The script, which briefly landed on the Black List, is described as a cross between Blood Simple and Red Rock West.

When a deadly criminal shows up in the deceptively-quiet, small town of Scarletville, a diner owner named Hank must spin a series of dark and twisted stories, in order to delay the felon long enough for the law to arrive.
