Carter Wilson’s Thriller ‘Tell Me What You Did’ Being Adapted Into Feature Film by Phiphen (EXCLUSIVE)

Phiphen, an independent film and television production company founded by award-winning producer Molly Conners, has optioned the Carter Wilson‘s bestselling thriller “Tell Me What You Did” and will adapt the novel into a feature film.

Conners will produce the project; a screenwriter has not yet been attached.

“Carter Wilson’s storytelling is immersive, suspenseful, and deeply psychological in a way that keeps readers turning pages late into the night,” said Conners. “’Tell Me What You Did’ is exactly the kind of bold, character-driven story we love to champion at Phiphen, and we’re excited to begin shaping its journey to the screen.”

In “Tell Me What You Did,” Wilson explores guilt, secrets, and the consequences of buried truths. Wilson, who books include “The Father She Went to Find,” “The Dead Husband” and “The Comfort of Black,” has built a loyal readership and received critical acclaim for his writing.

“I’m thrilled to partner with Molly Conners and the team at Phiphen to bring ‘Tell Me What You Did’ to life,” said Wilson. “Their passion for compelling stories and commitment to thoughtful, character-driven filmmaking makes them an incredible home for this project.”

The option marks the latest addition to Phiphen’s growing slate of literary adaptations and original projects across film and television. Mary Alice Kier and Anna Cottle of Cine/Lit Representation handled the negotiations on behalf of Carter Wilson.

Phiphen is an independently owned film and television production company, which creates content across all genres and budget levels. Phiphen has produced more than 30 film and television projects, including Netflix’s “Like Father,” starring Kristen Bell, Kelsey Grammer and Seth Rogen; Saban’s “Butcher’s Crossing,” starring Nicolas Cage and Fred Hechinger; and Netflix’s Emmy-nominated short-form comedy television series “It’s Bruno.” Phiphen also invested in the Tony Award–winning Broadway musical and national tour of “Operation Mincemeat.”
