A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE-director David Cronenberg is trying to line up an adaptation of Martin Amis novel LONDON FIELDS as his next project, reports SCI FI WIRE. The story chronicles a psychic who senses that one of two men in a pub will kill and sets forth to make it really happen.
"It's a possibility," Cronenberg said in an interview while promoting A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE. "I actually don't know. The deal has not been made yet. It would be an independently financed film, which means it will take some time to put the financing together. It's brilliant writing. Amis is a fantastic writer, and [London Fields] is a very interesting meditation on suicide and murder and [a] whole bunch of other things. It's pretty good. ... I wouldn't say it's supernatural, but there are a bunch of fantasies involved. It's all interesting, complex, difficult stuff to play with, and it's a real challenge for a filmmaker, as any complex, brilliant novel would be."
