OMG OMG - Tom's Got A Movie

Well this has made my week... not only are we going to see Erica Durance back soon but Tom Welling has been cast to play the lead in Ben Affleck's adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel "A Dog's Ransom".  Ahhh Tom, it will be good to see you again.

Ben Affleck will be directing from a script by Justin Theroux based on the novel, and Tom will be starring alongside Leighton Meester and Hugh Laurie.

Here's a bit of an idea of what it's about -

"One day, publishing house executive Ed Reynolds finds a disturbing ransom note in the Manhattan apartment he shares with his wife: "Dear sir: I have your dog, Lisa. She is well and happy... I gather she is important to you? We'll see." As the couple slowly realise the predicament they're in, it becomes painfully clear that an ambitious kidnapper really has hit them where it hurts..."

Apparently Tom is not playing the publishing executive but a young police officer who becomes obsessed with rescuing the kidnapped dog and bringing justice to the kidnapper.
