Odd Thomas Film Adaptation
Novelist Dean Koontz told San Diego Comic-Con attendees on July 26, 2008 that he now has a movie script adapted from his book Odd Thomas in hand and he's very pleased with the results. Koontz also teased that an unnamed actor has signed on to play the title character, but he clammed up before spilling his identity, much to the chagrin of the panel audience. Koontz added that after reading the script, which was written by an unnamed screenwriter, he 'fell over' because it was 'so perfect.'
The unnamed writer was confirmed in November 2010 to be American filmmaker Stephen Sommers, who will also be directing. The film will be produced independently by Howard Kaplan and John Baldecchi.
It was announced in February 2011 that Anton Yelchin was set to play the title role.
