Gao’s killing spree was particularly gruesome, attracting attention around China. He went after young women, raped his victims, and reportedly even dismembered body parts from a few. His youngest victim was only 8-years-old.
Since the case broke last month, several companies from China’s entertainment industry expressed interest in adapting the case into a film. The question of who would land the rights to make the film temporarily became a story in of itself.
In China, these types of films require approval from both the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film & Televison and the Ministry of Public Security. The Beijing Jindun Film and Television Company, a state-owned subsidiary of the Ministry of Public Security, announced earlier this week that it will produce the film together with director Lu Chuan’s movie company.

No other details, such as the angle of the script or the main actors, have been released.
