Lucas Sussman To Adapt 'Song Of Kali' Novel

[Wednesday, January 28th, 2004]
Scribe Lucas Sussman has been hired to adapt Dan Simmons' novel Song of Kali, says Variety.

The project, being developed by Darren Aronofsky's New Regency-based Protozoa Pictures, follows an American poet who travels with his Indian wife and their baby to Calcutta. He's supposed to be picking up an Indian writer's epic poem cycle about the goddess Kali, an ancient Indian deity of evil whose only clothing is a girdle made of dead men's hands. When he arrives, however, he finds the poet has disappeared under mysterious circumstances involving a cult that worships the goddess.
