Daniel H Wilson, author of such lifesaving works as “How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion”, “Where’s My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived”, “How To Build a Robot Army: Tips on Defending Planet Earth Against Aliens, Ninjas, and Zombies” and “The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame: Muwahahaha!” is ratcheting away on his latest opus “Robopocalypse” (due next year), an effort to realistically depict the day when your Roomba starts sucking on more than your dust bunnies.
Drew Goddard, screenwriter of the most excellent “Cloverfield”, has already been hired to write the script for Dreamworks. Will Steven take it on? We’ll see shortly. A screenplay begun before the book is even finished means a movie launch can’t be far behind. Thanks Deadline for your usual intrepid reporting.
