Warner Bros Picks Up Dan Simmons’ HYPERION CANTOS
Producer Graham King has brought Dan Simmons Hyperion Cantos series to Warner Brothers. Trevor Sands [director and co-writer of indie film Inside] has been tapped to adapt the first two novels of Simmons’s series into one movie.
From The Hollywood Reporter’s article
The first book, “Hyperion,” won the Hugo Award for best novel in 1990, while the second, “The Fall of Hyperion,” was nominated for a Nebula Award for best novel.
“Hyperion” 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.
