I don’t think I’ve seen this mentioned yet, but the Hollywood Reporter announced Josh Olson has been signed to adapt Naoki Urasawa’s Monster for a film version by New Line Cinema. A translation of Monster is being published by Viz and is listed in this month’s Previews.
I read the piece quickly but not well, and I thought David Cronenberg was directing, which would have been delightful if it had been true. Also, I’m stupid. (Thanks for pointing out my error and tactfully neglecting to mention my stupidity, David.)
