I’ve finished the book ”Mord i Malmö” by Pär Bjelvehammar which I’m about to adapt into a movie script.
I’ve localized four parallel stories.
The main character’s:
* Private investigation of the murders.
* Divorce and his relationship with his ex-wife and their two kids.
* Fancy for women.
* Hard time to keep his job.
The beginning and the end are sort of hasty, so I need to explore options for a working first act, and finish the story a little smoother, more movie-like.
The book was 241 pages so there is no need to do cuttings in the original story due to length at least.
Now I will work on a beat sheet to get the structure movie-like.
I’ll need to do an inventory on the characters, see if they are too many and if some have to go.
The police force was not put in their best and brightest light in this story. I’ll see if I can sooth that a little too.
