Crime Spree reports that iconic crime writer Robert Randisi has sold film rights to Everybody Kills Somebody Somtime to Sandy Hackett, son of late comedian Buddy Hackett.

The novel is based around the legendary Rat Pack and is set in ‘60s Vegas. It centers around threatening letters being sent to one of the pack, with the group working to figure out who is sending them.

The book will be adapted to the big-screen by Randisi himself; shooting is slated to begin January 2010.
