Variety is reporting that the acclaimed urban-fantasy novel Apocalypse Now Now is in development over at LA-based XYZ Films.
Oscar nominee Terri Tatchell (District 9) has been set to pen the script for the film, which will see Canada-based production company Redlab Digital collaborate with XYZ Films on the production.
The novel, written by Charlie Human, tells the story of “the kingpin of a smut-peddling high school who’s dating the girl of his dreams. After she’s kidnapped, he and a supernatural bounty hunter are plunged into the increasingly bizarre landscape of Cape Town’s underworld to save her while facing a brush with the Apocalypse.”
“South Africa has always pushed through the usual limits of my imagination and ‘Apocalypse Now Now’ is no exception,” states Tatchell. “Charlie has actually upped the game and obliterated them all altogether.”
