Brandt and Haas to adapt 'The Thirteenth Hour' for New Line
Wed, March 4, 2009 
It seems that every other day another project is announced that requires adapting a novel and quite often said novel is not yet published, and so here we are again as New Line set the writers of 'Wanted' and '3:10 to Yuma' scribes Michael Brandt and Derek Haas to adapt upcoming Richard Doetsch novel 'The Thirteenth Hour'.
New Line acquired the book last fall. Story follows a man accused of murdering his wife who gets to go back in time -- in one-hour increments over 12 hours -- with the chance to stop his wife's killer.
Haas said the book "is a fast-paced thriller with a supernatural twist and characters who really pop."
It sounds like a cool concept and I like the duos previous work, but these time travel things are often hit and miss. For anyone interested you can see a snazzy little trailer for the book Here at the authors site.
