Mandalay Pictures would like to make a movie based on the novel “Machine Man” by author Max Barry, only they don’t quite know how it’s going to end. Because, see, the book itself isn’t finished, and as we speak, Barry is putting one up one page from his novel online every day for people to read and make suggestions. Barry, we’re told, will then take suggestions from readers and, possibly, incorporate them as the book is written. Which is either the laziest way to write a novel, or sheer genius, I can’t quite decide. The uncertainty wasn’t enough to deter Mandalay, though, who snapped up the film rights.
