COMIC BOOK ADAPTATION NEXT FOR CRONENBERG
14 February 2004
The notoriously weird and wonderful director David Cronenberg has found a new project to divert his remarkable imagination in graphic novel "A History of Violence."

The first in the Paradox Mystery line of books published by Paradox Press/DC Comics and written by "Judge Dredd" creator John Wagner, "A History of Violence" follows the upheaval in an ordinary family?s life when the father is suddenly thrown into the spotlight after he kills someone in self?defence. As national attention focuses on the seemingly average Dad, his previously unknown past is uncovered.

But the "eXistenz" director won?t be the first to bring one of the books in the Paradox Mystery series to the big screen: Sam Mendes and Tom Hanks beat him to it last year by adapting the second book in the series "Road to Perdition."

Be nice if it's true - Cronenberg is a consistently good director, and it would be interesting to see his adaptation.
