Callie Hart, the author of the popular dark romance fantasy book, Quicksilver, gave an update to Netflix’s movie adaptation of the same name, while on her book tour in Melbourne, Australia yesterday, promoting her upcoming sequel, Brimstone.
Hart, who also serves as Executive Producer on Quicksilver, confirmed there’s been movement on the film as they now have a script, and are looking for a director.
“We have a script and it’s a good one,” Hart said. “And we’re about to start thinking about who will be the director, which is a really fun stage to be at.”
When asked who her dream director would be, Hart said Robert Eggers or Guillermo del Toro. She said she wants “something dark and twisted and weird. I don’t want anything normal.”
However, Hart did elaborate and say the name and past projects of the director are not as big of a concern overall, “I just want someone who has a clear vision, and who is going to stay true to the story and is going to present it in a really, fricken cool way that isn’t going to be turned into a meme. That’s the requirements.”
