New Sci-Fi Film ‘The Culture’ Coming Based on Iain M. Banks Story
There’s a new sci-fi Movie on the horizon called The Culture and it’s based on a short story by Iain M. Banks. It’s among a large series of stories set in the same universe.
Screendaily report that Dominic Murphy will direct, and co-script with Shane Smith, his collaborator on the ‘psychobilly thriller’ White Lightnin’. It’s just one of a few projects Murphy has on his slate including Jesus Christ Airlines, about daredevil pilots delivering aid to Biafra through hostile Nigerian airspace, and an as-yet untitled film about the Bronte children and their shared world of play and fantasy.
Wrobik, a citizen of The Culture, a society which abhors violence, has been living in exile for eight years, having renounced The Culture, her gender. Now a man, in return for cancelling his gambling debts, he agrees to destroy a starship using a gun which can only be fired by a member of the culture. But disgusted by the thought of murdering innocent people, he decides to flee the city. However, before he can leave, his boyfriend, Maust, is kidnapped and Wrobik is forced to choose between following his conscience and rescuing his lover.
Sounds completely bizarre, but it’s probably going to be a good movie. It’s nice to see hollywood actually making something that hasn’t been made before in the sci-fi genre. It seems to be a rare case nowadays.
