New movie promised.
New Republic Pictures, the banner run by producers Brian Oliver and Bradley Fischer, and filmmaker Francis Lawrence and his About:blank company, have teamed up to adapt the 1960 novel.
Lawrence, who helmed three Hunger Games movies as well as the post-apocalyptic I Am Legend, will direct the project.
The title was picked up from the Dick estate under About:blank’s first-look deal with New Republic, which recently wrapped shooting the latest Michael Bay action movie, Ambulance.
Hammer is set after a devastating world war, when the nations of Earth form the Unity party and cede global governance to the Vulcan AI system, which algorithmically dictates policies for Unity to carry out. However, after Vulcan is attacked and a special agent is murdered, Unity director William Barris is called to unravel the mystery to figure out who, or what, wants to destroy the system he has dedicated his life to.
Dick’s novel tackled ideas of artificial intelligence and society being controlled by computer technology, notions that have come to the fore in modern times. The deal shows that the author’s work continues to fascinate Hollywood, which, beyond Blade Runner, has translated his work into two Total Recall movies, the Steven Spielberg-Tom Cruise sci-fi thriller Minority Report, and TV series The Man in the High Castle.
