Alex Proyas über "The Tripods"
30. Januar 2009

Zwei Klassiker im neuen Gewand

Regisseur Alex Proyas (Dark City) erzählte ComingSoon.net, dass er momentan mit mehreren Filmprojekten beschäftigt ist. Eines der interessantesten davon seien die Geschichten über Die Dreibeinigen Herrscher (The Tripods) von John Christopher, an deren Kino-Adaption er zusammen mit Co-Autor Stuart Hazeldine arbeitet. Hazeldine ist auch Co-Autor von Proyas' kommendem Film Knowing und arbeitet außerdem an seinem Dracula-Prequel "Dracula Year Zero" mit. "Beide Projekte sind sehr spannend", sagte Proyas. Noch befinden sich beide Projekte in der Budgetierungs-Phase und Proyas kann deswegen noch nicht mehr preisgeben.

Auch bei Alex Proyas' Knowing hat Stuart Hazeldine als Co-Autor mitgearbeitet. Der ScienceFiction-Film mit Nicholas Cage startet am 9. April in den deutschen Kinos.

Both are still in active development so either could be Proyas' next project. "I'm working on a bunch of different things and the two projects I'm excited about are an adaptation of John Christopher's The Tripod stories that I've co-written with Stuart Hazeldine, who is one of our writers on 'Knowing', and the Dracula project," the Australian filmmaker told us. "Both are very exciting projects but at this stage, we're still in the budgeting process for both, so I can't really tell you much more than that."

Alex Proyas Moving Forward with Dracula and The Tripods

While director Alex Proyas is still fully entrenched in post-production on his upcoming film Knowing, he spoke briefly with ShockTillYouDrop about two more projects he has in development: Dracula Year Zero and The Tripods. As we reported last year, Dracula Year Zero is an origin story for the legendary vampire, while The Tripods is a post-apocalyptic story where humanity has been conquered and enslaved by aliens who travel in giant three-legged machines based on the series of novels by John Christopher. Proyas had the following to say about the two projects, either of which could end up being next for him.
....
The Tripods adaptation was written by Proyas and Stuart Hazeldine, who is also one of the writers on Knowing and Dracula Year Zero. And personally, the Tripod books were my favorites when I was a kid. They were able to fill the void and answer my questions after I had finished War of the Worlds by exploring what would happen if the aliens weren't effected by Earth's bacteria (which I always found hard to believe in Wells' story). I'd love to see this brought to fruition. As for the origin of Dracula, well, it looks to be an aligning of two of the most popular trends in the current zeitgeist of film: vampires and origin stories

Proyas Working On Tripods Movie

30.Januar 2009

By Ian M. Cullen

Back in 1984 the BBC started work on an adaptation of the popular science fiction novels The Tripods, which were written by John Christopher. Sadly the BBC was never able to complete the trilogy in their television adaptation, due mainly to poor ratings. But it has since gone on to be somewhat of a cult classic.

Now it looks like Hollywood is looking to make a movie adaptation of the books. And Alex Proyas who is best known as director of the hit science fiction movie Dark City is hard at work on the movie adaptation of this much loved book series from John Christopher. In a recent chat with Comingsoon.net the director gave a few updates about where he is at with the movie.

“I’m working on a bunch of different things, and the two projects I’m excited about are an adaptation of John Christopher’s The Tripod stories that I’ve co-written with Stuart Hazeldine, who is one of our writers on Knowing, and the Dracula project,” the Australian filmmaker told the site. “Both are very exciting projects, but at this stage we’re still in the budgeting process for both, so I can’t really tell you much more than that.”

The question that most will likely want to ask Proyas about Tripods is whether or not he is doing an adaptation of the book series, or borrowing from the books premise.

The Tripods trilogy tells a tale of an Alien Race called the Tripods who have dominated the earth for hundreds of year, and control the human race via an implanted cap that is placed in the human beings scalp to pacify them once they reach puberty. The story centres on three runaways who escape just prior to being capped and go off in search of the human resistance in hopes of putting an end to the Tripods dominance of earth.
