The Hollywood Reporter announced this morning that writer / director Alex Proyas (THE CROW) has signed on to write and direct the film adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein’s THE UNPLEASANT PROFESSION OF JONATHAN HOAG for Phoenix Pictures.
Budgetet between $40M-$50M, JONATHAN HOAG goes a little something like this: 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 fathomed.
A sci-fi mystery from the guy (referred to, in some circles, as a genius) who brought us THE CROW, I, ROBOT, and DARK CITY? I’m so there! Plus, one of the last Heinlen novel adaptation’s was STARSHIP TROOPERS, and we all know how awesome that turned out!
No actors have been attached to star yet, and filming is set to begin once Proyas wraps up the upcoming horror flick KNOWING. You want more, we’ll give you more, so stick around for updates on THE UNPLEASANT PROFESSION OF JONATHAN HOAG as they’re announced!
DARK CITY’s Jennifer Connolly!
