Chelsea Cain, Portland author of the popular comic book series Mockingbird.
A new TV series is in production based on Portland writer Chelsea Cain's thriller novel, "One Kick".
Cain confirmed to OPB that NBCUniversal will develop the series.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the series, under the title "Gone," will be the first produced under a joint agreement with French and German channels, for international distribution.
There's no word on who might play Cain's heroine, Kick, a former child abductee transformed into a super-skilled crime-fighter.
Chris Noth is attached, according to the Reporter, as the FBI agent who rescued Kick.
"I'm thrilled, Cain said. "I've had a crush on Chris Noth since college. And I can't wait for these characters to have a life outside the confines of my skull."
Cain's work has been tapped for adaptation before. FX picked up her Gretchen Lowell-Archie Sheridan mysteries. It's still in development.
Correction, 11:50 a.m.: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated the status of the FX production of Cain's Gretchen Lowell-Archie Sheridan stories.
