Rights to Ramez Naam’s SF Nanotech Thriller, NEXUS, sold to Paramount Pictures
Science fiction fans see so much poor original SciFi emerging from Hollywood that the standard rallying cry has become “Hey! Look to the pages of written science fiction!”
Sometimes Hollywood listens.
The screen rights for Ramez Naam’s science fiction nanotech thriller, Nexus, have been acquired by Paramount Pictures.
Nexus is a near-future thriller about an experimental nano-drug than can link human minds together. Such a powerful technology can be used for good and evil, as the young scientists protagonist learns when he becomes embroiled in international espionage.
For more insight into the ideas behind Nexus, check out Ramez’s guest post on The Science of Nexus and
Brenda Cooper’s interview with the author.

Hey Paul
who do you think should star in this?
I’m lousy at the casting game. I wouldn’t mind Idris Elba as Watson Cole,though.
I wouldn’t mind Idris Elba as anything!
