Director David Cronenberg is writing
a novel. Best known for his film The Fly, Videodrome and A History of Violence, Cronenberg is known for his distinctive style of moviemaking. So what will his book be about? He’s not saying. But publishers have snapped it up anyway.

The moviemaker, who was attending the Rome Film Festival on Thursday, said he has written 60 pages of a novel, but besides ruling out that it would be a

horror or science fiction, offeruddy few details on the project.
“Based on the pages I have written we found publishers all over the world, which is very terrifying to me,” Cronenberg told reporters.

“It’s at a very delicate phase right now, so I can’t really talk about it. It’s not like Stephen King, I don’t know what it’s like but you wouldn’t call it a horror or science fiction novel at all. But what it is exactly, well, I don’t know yet.”

We’ll be quite interested to see what he comes up with. One thing is for sure: it will be intense.
