Simon Beaufoy Has Gone To The Dogs

Sorry for the tease; No, there isn't a Rowlf spinoff movie in development.  But Academy Award winning screenwriter, and previous Danny Boyle collaborator, Simon Beaufoy is adapting Toby Barlow's acclaimed novel Sharp Teeth, for a possible future collaboration with said director.

The book is about the romance between a dogcatcher and a werewolf, set in Los Angeles.  It's also a detective story, and a violent gangland tale (Or "tail"; the gangs are all werewolves), done in a poetic style.

Anybody out there read it?  It sounds ridiculous, but I love Danny Boyle's choice of bizarre and dangerous material so far.  Here's hoping he does it, and it turns out as well as 28 Days Later.
