" MOVIES: WARNER SEES 'AMBER' VISION
Roger Zelazny's seminal alternate-universe book
coming to big screen
Here is a movie whose time has come. Roger
Zelazny, one of science-fiction's grandmasters is
getting one of
his seminal works -- Nine Princes in Amber --
turned into a major motion picture. Picked up by
Mark Canton of
the Canton Co. production studio, will be working
with Warner Brothers to bring it to the theaters.
Roger Zelazny was a giant of the sci-fi field
back during the 60s and 70s, and collected Hugos
and Nebula
awards like hunting trophies back then. Although
highly regarded, it was his Amber series, starting
with Nine
Princes in Amber, that made its impression on the
mainstream audience. Amber was the quintessential
alternate universe model, one that has penetrated
much of comic book and fantasy culture. The first
Amber
series dealt with the adventures of Corwin of
Amber, who discovers that the Earth he's trapped
on is a mere
shadow of a central dimension, Amber, from which
all other realities stem from. Corwin needs to
find his way
back to Amber and reclaim his title, while
traveling through higher and higher planes of
existence.
The conversion to movie should be a good one,
since the alternate dimensions, the costumes, and
the
action-packed narrative should give special
effects and stunt people shivers of joy. The only
potential hitches in
the whole thing would be the fact that the
writers, Akiva Goldsman (Batman Forever) and Ed
Neumeier
(Starship Troopers) haven't exactly turned in the
highest quality scripts. We hope they do, because
the books
are very good.
Zelazny's Amber Headed To Film
Ed Neumeier, who adapted Robert Heinlein's classic
SF novel Starship Troopers for the big screen,
will next turn his hand to
Roger Zelazny's fantasy novel Nine Princes in
Amber, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Producer Mark Canton and
Batman Forever writer Akiva Goldsman are teaming
with Neumeier to turn Nine Princes into a feature
film.
The story centers around a man who awakens one day
with amnesia, only to learn that he is the prince
of a powerful realm that
exists on a greater plane than our own. He finds
he must fight his way through political intrigues
that would put the Greek gods
to shame even as he struggles to regain his
memory."
