Ruby Entertainment’s Stephen Luby and Mark Ruse have optioned two books by criminal psychologist Tim Watson-Munro which detail his personal and professional experiences in working among some of Australia’s most notorious criminals.
The producers intend to adapt each book into an eight-part drama, developed with the author’s assistance. Writers are yet to be attached.
‘Dancing with Demons’ is set in the Underbelly world of the 1990s and early 2000s and chronicles his encounters with drug lords, murderers and psychopaths. Among the people he assessed were Hoddle Street mass murderer Julian Knight, corporate fraudster Alan Bond and Melbourne gangster Alphonse Gangitano.
In 1999 his $2,000 a week cocaine addiction led to his arrest. He was not convicted, but did receive a fine and a 12-month good behaviour bond. The following year he was deregistered by the Victorian Psychologists Registration Board but he returned to practice in 2004.
