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.
