Alex Proyas makes more awesome sci-fi

Alex Proyas is adapting another work from another classic Sci-Fi author, this time Robert A. Heinlaein. The story is called The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag. You can peep the details below.

The 1942 story, which Proyas and his partners describe as an action-packed
psychological thriller, complete with a love story, has a doozy of a hook: a man who can’t account for his actions during the day employs a husband-and-wife detective team to find out what he gets up to. Needless to say, the truth is pretty much out there – very out there. If you thought Proyas’ Dark City was bleedin’ mental, you ain’t seen nothing yet, but that’s all we’re going to say.

The title, by the way, is likely to change. Shooting should start in 2010 or
2011, depending on where Proyas places this on his to-do list.


Color me curious. I like the premise.
