Is 'The Flock' the Deadliest Predators of All? http://www.bloody-disgusting.com/news/16725 Print This Page Producers Don Murphy and John Wells have teamed up to option The Flock, a novel by James Robert Smith that sounds like a mix between Jurassic Park and The Birds. The book tells the story of a group of highly intelligent giant prehistoric birds discovered in the Florida Everglades who are intent on protecting their ancient home when faced with encroachment by theme park developers. Read on for an interesting story on how the book was discovered. Murphy is producing with Angryfilms partner Susan Montford while Wells will produce with his company's president, Claire Polstein. Murphy, a producer on "Transformers" with Tom DeSanto and Lorenzo DiBonaventura, discovered Smith and his book by chance. Murphy was on the blog of Eddie Campbell, the artist of "From Hell," an Alan Moore graphic novel whose big-screen translation was produced by Murphy. Smith was posting comments critical of the film, putting Murphy on the defensive. Eager to find out more about the poster, Murphy discovered Smith had written a book. He quickly ordered it, expecting to hate it and ready to trash it. To his surprise, he fell for it. Source:
