Brandon Cronenberg is no stranger to horror, being that his father is the great David Cronenberg. Still, the young filmmaker has forged his own path and directed two phenomenal genre films, Antiviral and Possessor. While he’s currently working on his next film, he’s also set to adapt the JG Ballard novel “Super-Cannes” for a limited series, reports Deadline.
Sounding similar in vein to Ballard’s “High-Rise”:
“‘Super-Cannes’, first published in 2000, is set in an ultra-modern high tech business park in the hills above Cannes, where a global elite has gathered to form a closed, uber-capitalist, and high-tech community. A place of luxury homes, private doctors, and private security, this enclave hides an underworld of crime, sexual perversion, madness and manipulation that is rapidly spiraling out of control.
“’Super-Cannes’ was an incredibly prescient novel that is more relevant now than ever — a heady blend of cutting politics and deviant psychology, built around a deeply satisfying detective story,” said Cronenberg.
Notes the site: “Ballard, one of Britain’s most acclaimed recent writers, is known for novels including “The Drowned World”, “Crash”, “High-Rise” and “Empire of the Sun”. Jeremy Thomas and David Cronenberg famously teamed up on a feature version of Crash. The author passed away in 2009.”
