Possible Film Adaptation
Several announcements have been made of an Executioner film at first produced by Joseph E. Levine who contracted Richard Maibaum in 1972 to write a screenplay. He based it on the fifth and sixth volumes, Continental Contract and Assault on Soho. Later announcements were made of Executioner projects to be directed by Burt Reynolds; to star Sylvester Stallone (with Cynthia Rothrock slated to appear opposite), but the ideas never left development hell.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or adaptation:
“[Film noir] experiences periodic rebirth and rediscovery. Whenever we have any moment of deep societal rift or disruption in America, one of the ways we can express it is through the ideas and behavior in film noir.”
—John Briley (b. 1925)
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
