Rebecca Ferguson Gives a Promising Update on Tim Miller’s Best Served Cold Adaptation
The project is still in very early stages: Ferguson was barely announced as lead a month ago. So far, we only know that Deadpool director Tim Miller is attached to helm. The approach to the source material is curious: Best Served Cold was published after the main story, which is dubbed The First Law Trilogy. This means that the entry point of moviegoers into that universe will be through a standalone novel. But, as Ferguson made it clear to Steve Weintraub, it’s all slowly coming to life:
“We were just talking about casting and who we want around. Yeah, I'm very, very excited. We'll see now with strikes and everything that's happening, but everything will happen in its own time.”
Best Served Cold is set in a cruel, kill-or-be-killed universe inhabited by Monza Murcatto (Ferguson), a ruthless mercenary whose popularity made her a target. After getting betrayed and left for dead, she embarks on a nonstop revenge quest in order to kill the seven men who tried to eliminate her. As the title suggests, she carefully plans her vengeance but is forced to fast-track her plans after another killer is dispatched to end her once and for all. Originally conceived as a trilogy that was kicked off with the best-selling novel The Blade Itself, Abercrombie’s series expanded into The First Law World, which now features ten books divided into trilogies, standalone novels, and short story collections.
