Zack Snyder is busy putting together his upcoming production of Watchmen, but it seems he is already making plans once that film is completed as Warner Bros. has hired him on to direct The Illustrated Man based on Ray Bradbury’s collection of short stories by the same name.
Aboard to tackle the screenplay is Alex Tse who also penned Watchmen.
The collection, first published in 1951, is narrated by a mysterious man with living tattoos that predict the future. It is unclear which direction the film will ultimately go, if it will stick strictly to the source material or go more along the lines of the 1969 version which starred Rod Steiger.
