Proyas Adapting Heinlein Novella
Dark City director Alex Proyas will write and direct an SF movie based
on The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag, a Robert A. Heinlein
novella, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Phoenix Pictures principals Mike Medavoy, Arnie Messer and Brad Fischer will
produce the film, which they describe as a complex psychological thriller with
plenty of action as well as some love interest. A title change is likely.
The deal with Proyas (I, Robot) closed several weeks ago, and the
project will likely shoot after the Greek-born, Australian-raised Proyas
finishes Knowing.
Originally published in 1942, the offbeat tale centers on a man who becomes
increasingly disturbed when he realizes he cannot account for his activities
during the day or even what he does for a living. He divulges his problem to
the husband-and- wife partners of a private detective agency, and their
investigation leads to a series of revelations they could never have imagined.
