Craig Odanovich’s Seductive Three-Part “The Black Widow” Series Stands Ready for the Big Screen

Unveiling an adult-oriented and sultry story of desire, empowerment, and reinvention, author Craig Odanovich has officially released his complete high-stakes thriller series, “The Black Widow,” in screenplay format. Now primed for the big screen, film producers, directors, and film agents are invited to explore this gripping saga’s cinematic potential.

At the heart of “The Black Widow” trilogy is Misty Carlson, an alluring and driven personal trainer whose turbulent past and failed marriage propel her into a deadly new existence. Dubbed “The Black Widow Trainer,” Misty finds herself entangled in a world of billionaires, politicians, and criminals, where seduction, influence, and deception are her currency. Part “Pretty Woman” with a risqué edge, part “Indecent Proposal,” and cloaked in the allure of an R-rated Cinderella, the trilogy delivers a bold, franchise-ready heroine in a sensual, high-powered suspense built for the screen.

Just as important, the trilogy showcases Misty’s entire character arc across three stories, a rare opportunity that enables filmmakers to attract the strongest and most compelling actress to embody her evolution from disillusioned trainer to empowered survivor.

“The Black Widow Trainer”

A Malibu trainer steps into a world of seduction and espionage—only to find herself the hunted in a game she never agreed to play.

In the first installment, “The Black Widow Trainer,” Misty is locked in a marriage marked by gratitude rather than love, as her husband gambles away their savings. When a British millionaire offers her a life-changing contract, she is thrown into a frenzy of luxury and peril that spans Maui, Malibu, Macau, and Manhattan. As men around her begin to die in odd ways, including a captivating stranger she spends the night with, Misty is named “The Black Widow Trainer.” The story builds the framework for a film series, spinning a complex web of intrigue around the globe, with a lead role at its center commanding star power.

“Captured Prey”

Targeted by investigators, haunted by a vindictive client, and trapped between a desperate congressman and his ruthless opponent, the Black Widow Trainer must decide whether love is her greatest weakness… or her only escape.

In its spellbinding sequel, “Captured Prey,” Misty’s career as a high-priced, one-time personal trainer puts her in the crosshairs of Washington politics. She is hired to work with Congressman Henry McClain during a hot race, and she quickly becomes embroiled in political controversy, media scrutiny, and a hazardous tug-of-war between competing camps. Complications arise when Misty reunites with Travis King, a rancher with rugged charm, straddling the Texas range and Wall Street. Tough, sensitive, and unexpectedly urbane, he ignites passion in Misty—forgotten and unimagined. Torn between love and ambition, Misty fights to safeguard not only her reputation, but also Travis’ freedom, as political enemies use her career against her. This story raises the stakes with themes of corruption, loyalty, and dangerous seduction, revealing Misty as a victim of her own decisions.

Character Highlight:

• Miguel Rios— Misty’s bodyguard and confidant, whose streetwise humor and unshakable loyalty ground her in chaos. His narration frames the story, a reminder that this world is as much about survival as it is seduction.

“Hanging by a Thread”

Misty Carlson takes on what may be her final job—only to be drawn into a deadly battle in the Caribbean, over a fortune in gold, where a reckless apprentice, a sadistic mobster, and Misty’s own haunted past threaten to consume her once and for all.

In the trilogy’s finale, “Hanging by a Thread,” Misty questions the cost of her work and considers a way out. But before she can break away, she is tasked with teaching her potential successor, Monique Lascal, a reckless beauty whose inexperience leads them into the hands of mob-connected casino mogul Vic Santoro. What starts off as another rich assignment quickly turns into a treasure quest across the Virgin Islands, where a centuries-old pirate map sets the stage for a bloody showdown. Monique, Misty, and her devoted bodyguard, Miguel, face betrayal, captivity, and a final standoff on a desolate island, where survival may be the only reward worth pursuing. From explosive action to emotional reckoning, the novel-to-screen adaptation propels us toward Misty’s haunting question: can a woman known as The Black Widow Trainer ever find love beyond survival?

All three screenplays are now available with full synopses. This complete package offers producers and film agents a rare opportunity to develop a multi-installment franchise designed to sustain cinematic storytelling for years to come. Should the first film prove a success, producers also have the option of filming the next two movies back-to-back —a strategy that could significantly reduce production costs while ensuring continuity of cast, crew, and story.

With its visually immersive potential and themes of desire, self-discovery, and personal agency, Craig Odanovich’s The Black Widow trilogy is positioned to capture adult viewers while establishing a compelling, action-packed visual experience.
