Would Daemon make a good movie?
-
Daemon by Daniel Suarez, Description: a high-tech thriller for the wireless age that explores the unthinkable consequences of a computer program running without human controlâa daemonâdesigned to dismantle society and bring about a new world order Technology controls almost everything in our modern-day world, from remote entry on our cars to access to our homes, from the flight controls of our airplanes to the movements of the entire world economy. Thousands of autonomous computer programs, or daemons, make our networked world possible, running constantly in the background of our lives, trafficking e-mail, transferring money, and monitoring power grids. For the most part, daemons are benign, but the same canât always be said for the people who design them. Matthew Sobol was a legendary computer game designerâthe architect behind half-a-dozen popular online games. His premature death depressed both gamers and his companyâs stock price. But Sobolâs fans arenât the only ones to note his passing. When his obituary is posted online, a previously dormant daemon activates, initiating a chain of events intended to unravel the fabric of our hyper-efficient, interconnected world. With Sobolâs secrets buried along with him, and as new layers of his daemon are unleashed at every turn, itâs up to an unlikely alliance to decipher his intricate plans and wrest the world from the grasp of a nameless, faceless enemyâor learn to live in a society in which we are no longer in control. . . .

Answer:
The movie was optioned by the folks involved in the Men In Black franchise, Minority Report, Gladiator, Kite Runner, AI, Sneakers, Road to Perdition. http://www.sliceofscifi.com/2009/01/15/daemon-optioned/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0662748/ http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0531827/ It would at least be decent - though it may actually be better as a TV series or a mini series such as BBC's Sherlock Holmes if not stretched out in detail like Game of Thrones.

I just finished both books, and I, who have never written a screenplay, was able to envision one and had a momentary desire to write one, since it was such an amazing mixture of intellect, mythology, politics and visual impact. I just hope that it is not toned down or ruined. It has to be a mini series, no way a movie, or two could do it justice. I just hope it doesn't end up going through the process so beautifully captured (talk about pearls before swine) by Neil Gaimon in his heartbreaking story "The Goldfish Pool and Other Stories" in his book "Smoke and Mirrors". I know this is an old thread, but the subject matter needs to be resurrected, like Merrick in the novels.

I loved both Suarez novels and I think Daemon would make an awesome film with the right adaptation. My nightmare would be a crap movie version where they turn this great story into something akin to The Net.
