I saw mention over on the fictionmags list that Donald E.
Westlake is getting some TV coverage in the UK soon, and that
THE AX (1997) has been turned into a movie. It's French,
called LE COUPERET, and directed by Costa-Gavras. Here's the
entry at the IMDB:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0422015/
It gets one bad review there, but it got a good review on
Ain't It Cool News, which combine to mean pretty much
nothing. Anyone on the list seen it in Europe or a film
festival? The book was excellent.
In related news, POINT BLANK (1967), the great movie
adaptation of the first Parker novel by Westlake/Stark, is
due out on DVD (in North America, at least) on 5 July. I've
only seen it once, years ago, and I can't wait to see it
again. In my mind, Parker looks like Lee Marvin.
