The Martian Chronicles Ready To Become A Film

The Martian Chronicles Ready To Become A Film

Fox-based producer Jon Davis, who helped bring the world Alien Vs Predator and I Robot, has grabbed up the rights to Ray Bradbury’s The Martian Chronicles has apparently been optioned and  plans to turn it into a movie.

The book, published in 1950, has been adapted for the screen before, albeit the smaller one: it was the source material for a miniseries that featured Rock Hudson and Bernadette Peters. Now, though, with Avatar’s after effects (not to mention profits) pulsing through executives’ veins and budgets, you’ve got to figure Fox might just leap at the idea of bringing Bradbury’s effective prose to cinemas.

Chronicles charts various human journeys to Mars and the interactions they end up having with the natives, not all of them friendly. But while the writer layered in a healthy subtext of philosophical curiosity, we’re not sure that would survive the translation into a movie.

Really! Wow! It was have to be significantly adapted, as was the film version of I Robot, but I'd love to see the Martian Chronicles as a film. I re-read this Bradbury book a few months back. It's still magic.

I have never read the book, but the feeling I get from you, I just might have to.

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

By Matt Cummings
The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
