That is very exciting news. Now, don't take this as a slight towards your homey (who has the chops from what I've seen to do the movie right) but the following:

Hoffman said the project is not just a good sci-fi adventure but a story full of hot topics --issues like artificial intelligence, bio-engineering and alternate theories of immortality will be dealt with dramatically. There'll be a sort of love interest as well.

made me want to put my foot through my monitor.

There's a "sort of" love interest in the novel as well. That's just Hollywood marketing speak. There's no extra emphasis on this aspect in the screenplay.

I'm well aware that it's just marketing speak and not a reflection of the actual creative process of the film. It's just irritating to hear something that means a lot to me reduced in that fashion.

I just hope the visual design is a hell of a lot better than it was in Torque!
