IM Global Television has made a deal to turnThe Hike , the 2016 fantasy novel by writer andfamous uncollectible shirt haverDrew Magary ( who , full revelation , write for our sister siteDeadspin ) , into a TV show .
David S. Goyer ( Batman v. Superman ) will be produce the show and Magary will be writing the book . If you have n’t read The Hike , it ’s about a military man who goes on a walk in the wood only to find himself lose on a phantasmagorical course stewn with surreal dangers , including demons , an absurdly luxurious ground-effect machine , gargantuan grasshoppers , a sixteenth - century Spanish explorer , and more . There ’s also a talking Cancer the Crab .
This is n’t Magary ’s first dancing with the joyousness that is the sempiternal Hollywood development cycle per second ; his other fable Holy Scripture , The Postmortal , had its film rightfield bribe by Doctor Strange director Scott Derricksonin 2013 . However , we ’d do it to see Magary ’s The Hike on the modest screen , if only of because we desperately want talking crab casting gossip .
“ Obviously , it ’s great fucking news but I ’m also fully cognisant that fuck off ANYTHING made for real is a longshot , ” said Magary when we asked him for comment , literally by IMing him . “ So I ’m gon na have to work my ass off to make certain it ’s skilful enough for someone to peck up . I ’ve also adjust my own work as a pilot before and it did n’t get made , but I go for that experience helps me on this one .
“ Also , I trust it runs always and make me jillion so I can move all of us to Elysium . ”
