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.

Famous quotes containing the words odd, thomas, film and/or adaptation:
“Last evening attended Croghan Lodge International Order of Odd Fellows. Election of officers. Chosen Noble Grand. These social organizations have a number of good results. All who attend are educated in self-government. This in a marked way. They bind society together. The well-to-do and the poor should be brought together as much as possible. The separation into classes—castes—is our danger. It is the danger of all civilizations.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“All world was one, one windy nothing,
My world was christened in a stream of milk.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.”
—Haniel Long (1888–1956)
