Variety reports that screenwriter Jim Uhls ("Fight Club") has optioned the rights to David Bowker’s upcoming mystery novel "How to Be Bad." The thriller focuses "on an average guy in his 20s whose life is turned upside-down when an old flame gives him a list with three names on it and suggests she’ll be his if he will snuff out one of them." Uhls will produce the movie under his Peculiar Films shingle.
