Movie Adaptations
In January 2004, it was announced that the screenplay he wrote for his novels Ilium and Olympos would be made into a film by Digital Domain and Barnet Bain Films, with Simmons acting as executive producer.
Scott Derrickson was set to direct "Hyperion Cantos" for Warner Bros. and GK Films. Trevor Sands is penning the script which will blend the first two cantos "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion" into one film. The adaptation is now in the hands of Bradley Cooper.
His novel Drood was set to be adapted into a movie by Guillermo del Toro for Universal Pictures. The adaptation, originally thought to begin filming in 2012, seems to be on hold.

Famous quotes containing the word movie:
“The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
