Alex Proyas set to produce and probably direct a really cool new sci-fi film AMP.

Deadline reports that Alex Proyas is gearing up to produce and maybe direct a movie called AMP which is an adaptation of a novel with the same name by Daniel H. Wilson.

Proyas is coming off a pretty big stinker Knowing , as well as a long line of other pretty mediocre films. His first three movies, Spirits of the Air, Gremlins in the Clouds, The Crow, and Dark City, are really fucking awesome and remain some of the most interesting sci-fi films of the nineties. Dark City might even be a masterpiece. Who knows?

But his talent is not in question. The stories he makes are. My point is, AMP sounds really fucking cool. Apparently, the film revolves around a group of a handicap people who are turned super human by technology designed to fix their disabilities. The original material was written by Daniel H. Wilson who is becoming the “it” Hollywood writer to adapt in the genre of sci-fi, having already sold another work to Steven Speilberg.

I write about all this because I really want Proyas to direct this and make it really awesome. I hated I, Robot for the same reason I’ve disliked all his films since Dark City: Not because they are bad, but because they had so much potential.
