Arclight Films has launched sales on the Croisette of Dead Simple, the adaptation of Peter James’ bestselling crime novel.

Dead Simple follows British detective Roy Grace as he hunts for a bridegroom buried alive in an unknown place after his prankster groomsmen are killed in a car crash.

James produces with longtime collaborator and writing partner James Simpson and Leighton Lloyd.

“I love writing and I love cinema so I’m looking forward to taking my own novel back to the arena where I began my career,” said James. “Producing this film with a truly compelling storyline and a character I am passionate about while maintaining a voice in how it will translate to the screen is an empowering challenge I cannot wait to meet head on.
