This is the kind of thing cgi was (or should have been) invented for - recreating an epic cityscape of the past that would be impossibly expensive to do well in reality. Adults might like to see this history brought to life on a grand scale. And the macabre and grisly story of America's first known serial killer would bring in the teens too.

Someone has bought the film rights to the book. The imdb had reported on two competing productions about the serial killer H.H. Holmes, one with Leo DiCaprio as the lead and the other with Tom Cruise based on the book. But it seems nothing has come of it after several years, perhaps because of the fear of competition watering down the box office take.
