Andrew Dominik (Chopper) has come aboard to develop and direct Paramount Pictures' The Demolished Man.
Based on the late science-fiction author Alfred Bester's best-selling book of the same name, the project is about a future society where telepaths are a recognized group of society and often used to detect crimes before they happen. Because of their existence, crime is at an all-time low, and there hasn't been a murder in more than 70 years. When a wealthy businessman decides to murder his rival, bribing a high-ranking telepath to help him cover his tracks, a telepathic cop is brought in to investigate. Figuring out who committed the crime is easy, proving the businessman's guilt is more problematic and a battle of wits ensues between the two.
No writers or producers are attached to the project as of yet. Dominik will oversee the development of the script.
