| Fine Line Features is picking up the rights to Umberto Eco's thriller "Foucault's Pendulum" (Anyone who has done Film
and Media or Cultural studies is cringing at the mere mention of Michel
Foucault I am sure). Cinescape sums up the story thus: Pendulum tells
the story of three book editors who create an elaborate joke about a worldwide
conspiracy involving occultism, voodoo, legends of the Holy Grail and other
bits of arcane and scientific info which they construct in a computer capable
of piecing together the various parts. Then, it takes a terrible twist as
people start disappearing. (CSO) (HFA NEWS) |
