Ladies and nutter conspiracists, start your engines. George Clooney's, "The Monster of Florence," starring Clooney as author Douglas Preston, is going to be filmed.
For the rest of us - expect the nutter PR campaign to defend Giuliano Mignini to go into overdrive and cast slurs against Preston and Clooney for the next few years.
Read this The Atlantic article: a short form of Douglas Preston's run in with Mignini, where Mignini tried to pin crimes on Preston and Mario Spezi for interfering in the Monster of Florence investigation.

Preston's interrogation, where he's presented by Mignini with audio of secretly taped phone conversations, reads a lot like the interrogation of Amanda Knox - chief amongst it all is Mignini purposely misunderstanding a common English idiom (cf "See you later" in the Knox interrogation).
The Atlantic said:
He played the recording again, stopping at several words and demanding to know what Spezi or I meant, as if we were speaking in code, a common Mafia ploy. I tried to explain that the conversation meant what it said, but Mignini brushed my explanations aside. His face was flushed with a look of contempt. I knew why: he had expected me to lie, and I had met his expectation. I stammered out a question: Did he think we had committed a crime at the villa?
Mignini straightened up in his chair and, with a note of triumph in his voice, said, Yes.”
“What?”
“You and Spezi either planted, or were planning to plant, false evidence at that villa in an attempt to frame an innocent man for being the Monster of Florence, to derail this investigation, and to deflect suspicion from Spezi. That is what you were doing. This comment—We did it all’—that is what he meant.”
I was floored. I stammered that this was just a theory, but Mignini interrupted me and said, “These are not theories. They are facts!” He insisted I knew perfectly well that Spezi was being investigated for the murder of Narducci, and that I knew more about the murder than I was letting on. “That makes you an accessory. Yes, Dottor Preston,” Mignini insisted, “I can hear it in your voice. I can hear the tone of knowledge, of deep familiarity with these events. Just listen.” His voice rose with restrained exaltation. Listen to yourself!”
How many times here on this thread on ISF/JREF have you heard that either Amanda Knox or her mother, or in one case the whole of Seattle, were SPEAKING IN MAFIA CODE?
The "framing of an innocent man" also plays in the Kercher murder debacle, albeit in that case Mignini managed to get even the ISF to agree that Knox, and not Mignini, should have been held responsible for that.
"We did it all" is a comment that Mignini lifts out of context on the secret telephone recording, and imbues false meaning to it. Although Mignini was not the one who had initially imbued false meaning to Knox's "See you later" text to Lumumba, he certainly did not shut it down either.
As Douglas Preston eventually said, Mignini is obsessed with satanic sex theories in crimes. So even though Mignini had not specifically used those terms in relation to Amanda Knox, he'd found plenty of of ground surrounding Hallowe'en to get his favourite point in play.
It's going to be a fun time in 2018 having the guilt-nutters, Mignini-surrogates going all ga-ga over the coming film. Maybe they'll unearth this now deleted YouTube video of Mignini at a "Satan and the Law" conference?
Yup, we're going to make Continuation 50 - no sweat.
