As if having Martin Scorcese/Terence Winter’s Boardwalk Empire, David Simon’s Treme, and David Milch/Michael Mann’s Luck on their upcoming plate weren’t enough, David Fincher is teaming up with HBO to turn the book Mind Hunter: Inside The FBI’s Elite Serial Crime Unit into a new series. Charlize Theron will help produce and Scott Buck, an executive producer on Dexter, will write the pilot.

Mindhunter enters the minds of some of the country’s most notorious serial killers to tell the real-life story of the Investigative Support Unit (ISU) — the FBI’s special force that has assisted state and local police in cracking some of the country’s most celebrated serial murder and rape cases. The unit specializes in understanding the chemistry and mechanical workings of the brain’s of these serial criminals, and did its homework by interviewing such murderers as Charles Manson and David Berkowitz (the Son of Sam).

Expect that sometime in the future.
