A Broken French Telepath in New York

There are dozens of movies about telepaths who are drunk on their major power , like Jean Gray in X - Men or Carrie in Carrie . And there are psychics who struggle with the horrid responsibility their visions impart , like John Smith in Dead Zone . That ’s why I was excited to hear that at last we ’re going to get a movie that move around the telepath myth on its headway . A Gallic film company has bought the rights to Robert Silverberg ’s intense , disturbing novel Dying Inside , about a telepath who is losing his powers in a form of ESP Alzheimers manner .

The film will be directed by relative newcomer Bruno Merle , whose 2007 film Héros was a thriller about a modest - time comedian who abduct a famous singer . leave that he ’s already explored the psychological science of a desperate loser , Merle might be the person who can do justice to Silverberg ’s report of a guy cable who trust on his telepathy to slide by his whole aliveness — and who is now watching his one swell ability misfire and flush it . What I get it on substantially about Dying Inside was the way Silverberg managed to convey the triviality of telepathy . His protagonist David Selig uses his awful powers mostly to figure out who might take him home for a one - night rack . No save the existence . Just little - time poppycock .

Silverberg toldLocus magazinethat the movie will be Gallicized , with Selig turned into a French expatriate in New York .
