Ari Folman To Make 'Futurological Congress'

The Futurological Congress
[Ari Folman] has acquired rights to "The Futurological Congress," a short story from science fiction writer Stanislaw Lem, and intends to write the screenplay and shoot the movie as a live-action/animated hybrid.

"Congress" is set in a futuristic world in which everything appears to glisten -- there is an abundance of money and good feeling -- but which turns out to have a dark, drug-infused underbelly.
