Someone sent me this information from Daily Variety, January
15:
"The Parker novel series, which Westlake wrote under the pen
name Richard Stark, has been acquired for series treatment by
FX net entertaimnet prexy Kevin Reilly...."
The article goes on to say that the script for the pilot show
was written by Alexander Ignon, "who adapted the Weslake
novel The Green Eagle Score...."
(I didn't know that The Green Eagle Score had been
filmed. But back to the article.) "Westlake...liked Ignon's
work and blessed the series. It'll be an original caper for
Parker and will be written in the vein of The Sopranos and
Heat, with the idea that a massive heist will be perpetrated
over the course of a season, the setup building over episodes
until the actual crime is perpetrated."
