As previously reported on Slice of SciFi, Daniel Suarez’s debut novel “Daemon” has been optioned for the big-screen.
Variety reports the project has taken a step closer to becoming a big-screen reality with Paramount hiring writers Walter Parkes and David DiGilio. Parkes is the screenwriter from other techno-thriller projects “Sneakers” and the original “War Games.”
“Daemon” centers on an iconic game designer who, before he died, set up a program to fight mankind. It was published in January and a sequel is expected next year.
Parkes and Laurie MacDonald are producing the project through their DreamWorks-based company.
