Legendary Pictures Set To Adapt "Brilliance"


Recommended Posts

Legendary Pictures has just acquired the rights to Marcus Sakey's forthcoming sci-fi/superhero novel Brilliance. The book is as follows:

In Wyoming, a little girl reads people?s darkest secrets by the way they fold their arms. In New York, a man sensing patterns in the stock market racks up $300 billion. In Chicago, a woman can go invisible by being where no one is looking. They?re called ?brilliants,? and since 1980, one percent of people have been born this way. Nick Cooper is among them; a federal agent, Cooper has gifts rendering him exceptional at hunting terrorists. His latest target may be the most dangerous man alive, a brilliant drenched in blood and intent on provoking civil war. But to catch him, Cooper will have to violate everything he believes in?and betray his own kind.

Joe Roth and Palek Patel are set to produce the film, along side fellow producer Alex Hedlund.

Marcus Sakey's crime novels have a habit of being optioned for films; Ben Affleck (Argo) has the rights to The Blade Itself and other studios have the rights to Good People and At the City?s Edge. All good reads.
