AMP sells to Summit and Director Alex Proyas

After long and difficult negotiations, I have decided to sell film rights to my upcoming novel AMP to Summit Entertainment. Alex Proyas (The Crow, Dark City, I,Robot, Knowing) is attached to produce and likely direct. Couldn't be more excited about the potential for this project!

Robot Uprising Movie... still limping along!

The LA Times interviewed Tom Lennon and Ben Garant -- the two very talented (and busy) screenwriters who are working on adapting How to Survive a Robot Uprising for Paramount. According to this LA Times story the guys are still working on what I like to call "my movie." Exciting -- it's just too bad that I'll be in my thirties before it comes out.

Bro-Jitsu: The Martial Art of Sibling Rivalry

So I'm writing a book AND a movie. And yes, I'm too lazy to elaborate. So please just read the Variety article. Alternately, read the Hollywood Reporter article -- it comes with a pretty funny-yet-philosophical quote from my producer Marc Rosen.

New York Times: Where the hell is Mike Myers?

Dear Ed Leibowitz,

Thank you very much for writing the informative article, "Mike Myers: Intentional Man of Mystery." Your piece had a very clever title. However, why did you have to call my book "obscure?" Why not something equally accurate but better? Like "shiny?" In any case, my goofy book about robot uprisings was featured in the science section of the NYT earlier this year. That piece was written by Cornelia Dean. For your information, I like Cornelia better than I like you. Wait, that doesn't feel fair. I guess I like you too, Ed.

Sincerely,

Daniel H. Wilson

it's like an orange on a toothpick

It's official -- Mike Myers is going to star in a movie based on my book,
How to Survive a Robot Uprising.

I'm speechless except to say, "Yeah baby!"
