project hyperion – Beware of Monsters

The time has FINALLY come! I get to announce ONE of SEVERAL Hollywood projects that are in the works. And holy forking shirt balls, it is a big one. Like…kaiju sized.

That’s right folks, as reported in Deadline...

PROJECT NEMESIS, is in development as a TV series!!!

Chad Stahelski (director of John Wick 1 – 4) is at the helm, and if that isn’t awesome enough, it’s being produced by Original Film AND Sony Pictures Television (the team behind The Boys, SWAT, Preacher and Happy!). Below, along with some awesome Nemesis art, I’ll tell you how all this came about, where things are, and where we’re headed.

“I can’t say how excited I am to help bring Jeremy Robinson’s Project Nemesis to the screen. From the first moment I started reading it, I was hooked. This amazing book series has everything I love about the genre: martial arts, action, great characters, and of course, Kaiju!” — Chad Stahelski, director of John Wick 1 – 4

HOW WE GOT HERE

This all began so long ago I honestly don’t remember the year. But it was about six years ago, in September, when I got a call from director Chad Stahelski. He’d read Project Nemesis, and being a fellow kaiju fan with Massachusetts roots, he fell in love with the story. So much so that he wanted to create a series based on it. We spoke for about an hour, with him laying out his vision for the series…which matched perfectly with my own. I was on board, 100%.

And then, the waiting began. It was two years before Chad would go into Original Film for a meeting about the Highlander movie he’s directing and casually mention Nemesis. When he left that meeting, we had producers attached, and shortly after, SONY was on board. Thus began the years-long contract negotiations during which I met with Chad several times, and was lucky enough to attend the John Wick 2 and 3 premieres. Finally, a year ago, the contracts were squared away and signed. And since then–really for the past six years–I’ve been bouncing off the walls, dying to tell EVERYONE that this was in the works. And now here we are, and I’m freaking out. Hopefully, you are too!

WHERE WE ARE AND WHERE WE ARE GOING

The fourth Nemesis novel, Project Hyperion, is coming out in September and as usual, I’m including a fan art section. If you’d like your work included simply e-mail your art (all skill levels are welcome) to me at in**@je******************.com.

Make sure it is 300 dpi and doesn’t include copyrighted characters (Godzilla, Gamera, etc). All characters from the previous Nemesis books are fair game, and you can include your own characters as well, as long as there is something Nemesis related in the image. Images can be black and white, or color (color images will be grayscale in the print book, but in full color in the e-book). If you have a website or deviantart page you would like included, be sure to send that along with your full name so we can give you credit! Deadline is September 10. And to get you pumped, here is the cover for Project Hyperion!
