Alex Proyas Spills About Tripods

Even as his current movietops the weekend box office , directorAlex Proyasis talk about his next project , a big - screen interlingual rendition of SF classic novel series , The tripod … including which grapheme get Starbucked .

Proyas enjoin Digital Spy that the script for the first movie ( adjust The White Mountains , the first novel in John Christopher ’s trilogy ) is presently being write by himself and Knowing author Stuart Hazeldine , both expectant fans of the books ( and the eighties BBC TV adaption ) , but that they ’re not going to be 100 % faithful to what ’s on the Thomas Nelson Page :

There are some additions to the playscript that we ’ve made . For exemplar , there is a kind of religious furor that revolve around the Tripods . They have priests in every village and their place of worship is a church with a triangle on its bloom , because that ’s the symbol of the Tripods . So there are a few surreal quirk at first , but until you see the first Tripod and the first capping – very much as it was in the TV serial – you do n’t really know where you are . You ’re in some weird fabulous place and then suddenly you gain you ’re in a scientific discipline fable cross and throughout he course of the story you realise it ’s set in the future and they aim over the Earth at some point and subjugated humanity … [ Also , ] we ’ve in reality changed Beanpole [ one of the novels ’ three male leads ] to a girl . That was a middling significant alteration , because I really just did n’t get the notion that there ’d be these three boys travelling around the countryside and they just really want to have a female child in the mixture . Eloise is still there , the crimson tugboat is still there , all the beats from the account book are still there , but I hope we ’ve added a layer of part ontogeny that the books do n’t In all honesty , as big a sports fan as I am , the character are pretty unelaborated in the record . So we ’ve tried to give them a level of depth that will hopefully sustain three movies .

According to the music director , although he hopes to make adapt all three original novel , the first movie will be bring out as a fend - alone storey in case it ’s not successful enough for a sequel :

Well I ca n’t promise to make all three because it ’s really about the first one ! But ‘ The White Mountains ’ holds up really , really well as a undivided storey and we ’ve made the script manifestly so that it work as a unmarried news report . But what I can guarantee is that if I get to make two , then I will absolutely make three . It ’s just getting to number two , because you just never know .

As someone who screw the video serial and was distraught when they cancelled it without any resolution , I ’m keeping fingerbreadth crossed that this comes to pass .
