“Devil In The White City”
The rights to the book are owned by Cruiz or DiCaprio. It is a facinating, detailed, frightening, “true crime story” in which H.H. Holmes is eventuality found out, tracked down, caught, tried, convicted and executed.
A film could not do the story justice, there is way too much there to gloss over. However, it would instead make an outstanding HBO, Netflix or Amazon Prime mini series. Especially if DiCaprio played H.H. HOLMES.
If they simply and accurately told the story without embellishing it or “Hollywoodizing” it, they would have a sure-fire hit on their hands. It literally has everything that you could ask for and the facts behind the story are far more interesting than anything Hollywood could dream ip.
Great book-—I hope the movie does it justice.

Exactly, except no one would believe that it actually happened.
I have posted about this a little futher down the thread; but, there was a show called American Ripper on one of the cable channels about a year ago, and it followed the story of H.H. Holmes. One of the people doing the detective work was related to H.H.Holmes, and he says his family has always thought that he was the Ripper.
