It does seem strange that he's not more excited about making Cell. The book is crying out for a movie adaptation and if done properly it could be a great movie. I think this is especially true now when there seems to be a trend for post-apocalyptic horror (28 Weeks Later, I am Legend, Resident Evil: Extinction). I can see why he would want to make a comedy, and also perhaps why the concept of Cell might not be too exciting for him. Cell is quite a large vision and the book is very dark in tone. I'm not entirely sure he's the best director for the job. What do you guys think?
