I am – Hercules!!


Robert A. Heinlein’s 1942 story “The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag” is headed for the big screen.

Alex Proyas ("I Robot"), who wrote and directed "Dark City," will undertake the same functions for the new thriller.

The Hollywood Reporter describes the premise:

… the offbeat tale centers on a man who becomes increasingly disturbed when he realizes he cannot account for his activities during the day, or even what he does for a living. He divulges his problem to the husband-and-wife partners of a private detective agency, and their investigation leads to a series of revelations they could never have fathomed.

Movies previously adapted from Heinlein's work include “Destination Moon” (1950, based on “Rocketship Galileo”), ”The Puppet Masters” (1994) and “Starship Troopers” (1997).
