"300" director Zack Snyder is sharpening his pencil for "The Illustrated
Man," a project based on the Ray Bradbury collection of short stories.
The unrelated tales explore the nature of humankind and are linked by a
storyteller with talking tattoos.
Some of the better-known stories include "The Veldt," about two parents
who use an artificial nursery that re-creates the African savanna to
placate their children but get locked inside it by the kids; "The Other
Foot," in which Mars has been colonized by black people who want to
create a system of segregation when they learn that a rocket filled with
white travelers is arriving from Earth; and "Marionettes Inc.," in which
a man attempts to escape his unhappy marriage by replacing himself with a
robot to fool his wife, only to discover that his wife left a while ago
and he had been living with a robot version of her.
The book, originally published in 1951, was the basis of a 1969 film that
starred Rod Steiger in the title role.
The film is set up at Warner Bros., where Snyder is in preproduction on
the comic-book adaptation "Watchmen."
