Promo Poster for adaptation of Ballard’s High Rise

By Jay Tomio on May 22, 2009

high-rise-ballardThe recently deceased, and legendary SF writer J.G. Ballard’s High Rise In the Ocean is being adapted to film by Vicenzo Natali. I feel about Ballard the way I do Thomas Disch (who passed away last year) in that specifically their catalog of work just ooozes with potential for big screen adaptation. I don’t even mean direct translations, but in the way that we see numerous PKD works find their way on film (some uncredited).

More after the jump . . .
