akashiverSo Mark Seal’s nonfiction book "The Man In The Rockefeller Suit" is going to be made into a movie. I just finished the book a few weeks ago, and it was a fascinating read. The ease with which Christian Karl Gerhartsreiter adopted different identities and slipped into people's lives is frightening to think about: How well do you really know the people you are close to? So I recommend the book, particularly if you're interested in true crime and strange people. No idea how the movie will turn out.
What else? Sony is planning an Assassin's Creed film, the new film version of Akira has finally been greenlit, and there are a bunch of interesting TV projects in the works: an adaptation of the Kapanese anime "Noir," and an adaptation of Karen Russell's Swamplandia!, which I hear is wonderful, but which I still haven't read. There's going to be an American adaptation of the UK show "Misfits." (Has anyone seen this one? It sounds like something up our collective street.)
In other news, I'm charmed by the description of Shia LeBeouf's new movie, A Giant:
The story follows a girl, broke and running from a series of bad relationships, who moves back home to reconnect with her brother. Instead she forms a relationship with a 20-foot-tall man-child (LaBeouf) who lives next door. Gil Kenan ("Monster House") will direct from a script he wrote.
I like movies that wear their quiet-but-high concept on their sleeve.
