Dancing Ledge Productions has inked a deal with HarperCollins to acquire the TV rights to Alistar Maclean's series of novels, TVWise has learned. The first novel being adapted under this deal is San Andreas, a thriller set on board a torpedoed WW2 hospital ship as it attempts to make its way back across the North Atlantic to Scotland while a saboteur picks off members of the crew. The Secret Agent scribe Tony Marchant is attached to pen the script.
