Filmmaker Alex Proyas has signed to write and direct an adaptation of Robert Heinlein’s sci-fi novella “The Unpleasant Profession Of Jonathan Hoag” for Phoenix Pictures.
The story centers on a man named Hoag who becomes increasingly disturbed when he realizes he cannot account for his activities during the day or even what he does for a living. He explains his problem to a private detective agency and their investigation leads to a series of revelations they could never have fathomed. Sounds an awful lot like “Dark City”, which was Proyas’ own creation from 1998, and a huge cult sci-fi hit itself. The film is described as a complex psychological thriller with plenty of action and is expected to start production in 2010.
