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:
“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
