Warners Bringing HYPERION CANTOS To The Screen?!
|
Warners has acquired the rights to Dan Simmons' HYPERION CANTOS novels & are working to turn them into movies. Trevor Sands will adapt the first two books in the series (HYPERION and THE FALL OF HYPERION) into one feature script.
The Hugo-winning, Nebula nominated series...
...deals with a space war, with most of the action taking place on a planet named Hyperion, known not only for its electricity-spewing trees but also for the Time Tombs, large artifacts that can move through time. The tombs are guarded by a monster called the Shrike, which impales people on metal trees.
...says THIS ARTICLE in Hollywood Reporter.
You can find more information about Simmons' series HERE.
