Writer-director Frank Darabont (Shawshank Redemption) told Sci Fi Wire that he's considering remaking "Fahrenheit 451" and doing a film based on Robert McCammon's novel "Mine," among other options for his next project. Darabont said that "Fahrenheit 451," based on Ray Bradbury's classic novel, is closest to becoming a reality.
"That is—fingers crossed—I would say 90 percent a go, but in the film business, 90 percent ain't real until it's 100 percent," Darabont said in an interview. "It's looking very positive for next year. I'm hoping that this whole [writers'] strike thing doesn't throw a wrench into our being able to plan it. So I'm hoping that the film doesn't jump off the track for that reason."
His other potential project, "Mine," is McCammon's psychological horror tale about a deeply disturbed female 1960s revolutionary who kidnaps a baby, goes on a killing spree and sparks a desperate chase. "That is also in the works," Darabont said. "We're working on that, too. That is an intense and primal thriller. It's a female-driven thriller, which is perhaps one of the reasons that it's not an obvious 'yes' for a studio. The hero and the villain are great women's roles, and studios kind of have to be talked into that thing, because it's not the obvious to them."
