Sony has acquired the Isaac Adamson novel "Tokyo Suckerpunch" to adapt into a feature Tobey Maguire will topline reports Variety (http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117921155?categoryId=13&cs=1).
The studio has hired famed scribe Ed Solomon ("Men in Black (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050415g.php#)", "Charlie's Angels", "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure") to write the pic, to be produced by Maguire, Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher.
The story follows Billy Chaka, a man writes a column that casts him as macho hero (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050415g.php#) living in a surreal, amped-up Tokyo. When his book gets turned into a movie (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050415g.php#), Chaka flies to the city for the premiere and hates it enough to clash loudly with the director (http://www.darkhorizons.com/news05/050415g.php#), who ends up murdered.
Thanks to 'Wilkes'
