Steven Spielberg tried—and failed—to get a movie made out of Ray Bradbury’s short story collection The Martian Chronicles back in the ’90s. So it looks like it’s up to John Davis, a producer responsible for bringing Predator, I, Robot and Waterworld (uh-oh) to the screen, to finally make it happen.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Paramount has picked up the movie rights to Bradbury’s collection, which had previously been made into an NBC/BBC miniseries written by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) in 1980.
