News > Scott Derrickson to Direct 'Hyperion Cantos'

Scott Derrickson tapped to direct Hyperion Canto for Warner Bros.  According to Variety the film will take two Dan Simmons novels "Hyperion" and "The Fall of Hyperion" and make them one.

Story is set in the distant future, as a space war threatens Hyperion, a planet known for the Time Tombs – large artifacts that can move through time and are guarded by a gruesome monster called the Shrike.

Sands co-wrote and directed the 2002 film "Inside." Recently he's worked on Dimension's "Six Million Dollar Man" and adapted the David Brin sci-fi novel "Startide Rising" for Paramount.
