"DreamWorks Studios and Doubleday have pre-emptively acquired film and publishing rights to Daniel H. Wilson's unpublished manuscript, "Robopocalypse," which explores the fate of the human race after a robot uprising."
Yes, this premise has certainly been played out, for lack of a better term. However, author Wilson is an actual Ph.D. in robotics and "has grounded his tale with a heavy degree of authenticity derived from real robot technology."
Maybe Wilson IS a robot, and is writing about his future plans. I saw we dissect him and find out. JK, JK we'll just have him walk through the metal detector at an airport. And then shoot him when the alarm beeps and his eyes glow red.
Robot or not, he is certainly in high demand. Check out what else he's got cooking:
Wilson is also the author of the 2005 book "How to Survive a Robot Uprising: Tips on Defending Yourself Against the Coming Rebellion," which scribes Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant have been developing as a screenplay for Paramount. Wilson's next book, "Bro-Jitsu: The Martial Art of Sibling Smackdown," is scheduled for release next year. Nickelodeon has optioned the film rights and hired Wilson to adapt it. Wilson's other books include "Where's My Jetpack?: A Guide to the Amazing Science Fiction Future That Never Arrived," "How to Build a Robot Army: Tips on Defending Planet Earth Against Aliens, Ninjas, and Zombies" and "The Mad Scientist Hall of Fame: Muwahahaha!"
