Bradley Cooper Talks About Writing The Hyperion Movie
12 December 2011 10:18 AM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
A movie version of Dan Simmons' Hugo Award-winning Hyperion Cantos has been in the works for several years now, but we haven't heard much about it lately. The original plan was to combine the first two books in the series -- Hyperion and The Fall of Hyperion -- into a single screenplay, and writer Trevor Sands was working on doing just that. Then the project went silent for quite a while, until it reappeared in a way nobody would have expected: while appearing on Charlie Rose back in May, Bradley Cooper said that he was in negotiations to write the Hyperion screenplay. Check out the interview, beginning at the 18:45 mark. If you're at work or can't watch the video, here's the gist: Cooper and his writing partner wrote a treatment for the movie on spec (that's Hollywood for "for free") and approached the rights holders for the books. »
Will Bradley Cooper Be Hyperion’s Screenwriter?

Will Bradley Cooper Be Hyperion’s Screenwriter?
Dan Simmons' novel Hyperion has been in and out of talks for film production for years, and now it seems like the film actually will be taking off sometime soon. Or will it? Producer Graham King holds the rights to the film adaptation of Hyperion, but nothing is happening in that cinematic ballpark. However, during his interview on Charlie Rose, actor Bradley Cooper let it leak that he was applying to be the screenwriter for Hyperion, the last writer having been Trevor Sands. Cooper already has a rough draft to present to King, and he said that they are negotiating to author a more permanent screenplay. He also added, "…ideally I’d like to direct it, but there’s no way.” While his dealing with King is far from over, Cooper is hopeful that "at least we have the chance to write the script for Hyperion. »

Bradley Cooper Hopes To Write Film Adaptation Of ‘Hyperion’
27 May 2011 4:14 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
While there are a decent amount of people who seem to have some sort of disdain for him, I would say that I’m a fan of Bradley Cooper. The guy has a lot of charisma onscreen, can shift from likable to antagonistic rather remarkably, and just comes off like a movie star should.
An interview that he did with Charlie Rose shows that he actually has a brain, too. In addition to talking about his career, he also said that The Crow and Paradise Lost - both of which he’s been rumored for – look like they could be in his future. The biggest reveal, though, is his mention of the fact that he and a friend have written a spec script for a film adaptation of the Dan Simmons novel, Hyperion. Cooper also said that he would “ideally” like to direct it, but he acknowledges that “there’s no way. »

Bradley Cooper interested in adapting Hyperion for the screen
27 May 2011 12:38 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »
Bradley Cooper appeared on Charlie Rose last night. While there he spoke candidly about his future roles, including Paradise Lost and The Crow (he implied he was locked in to star in both), as well as a role in The Elephant Man. He also revealed that he is considering adding screenwriter to his resume.
The actor is a big fan of the Hyperion series from Dan Simmons. He even co-wrote a spec script for the project and turned it in to Gk Films, who currenlty own the rights. This is good news for Cooper because Gk Films is at Warner Bros, which the actor has a great relationship with. So it looks very likely he may get his wish to write the whole screenplay.
The project has been really quiet since 2009, when Scott Derrickson was attached to direct based on a screenplay by Trevor Sands. Projects like this fall apart »

Bradley Cooper Writing Hyperion
27 May 2011 12:08 PM, PDT | MovieWeb | See recent MovieWeb news »
Actor Bradley Cooper recently appeared on The Charlie Rose Show to promote his comedy sequel The Hangover Part II, where he revealed his screenwriting ambitions. Cooper indicated on the show that he wrote a spec screenplay for Hyperion, which is based on the Dan Simmons novel series. Here's what he had to say, after he revealed that he also wants to direct, eventually.
"There is this series of science-fiction novels called Hyperion by Dan Simmons, and this is an example of trying to get things started. My friend and I went to (producer) Graham King, who owns the rights to Hyperion, and we wrote a treatment on spec, saying, 'Look, I know this is a very audacious endeavor, but can you just read this spec we wrote? We think we have a way in to tell the story.' Now we're negotiating to write the script for it. Who knows what's going to happen. »

Bradley Cooper Angling to Script the Adaptation of Dan Simmons’ ‘Hyperion’
27 May 2011 12:00 PM, PDT | Slash Film | See recent Slash Film news »
Are you ready for Bradley Cooper, screenwriter? We know him as an actor, but evidently he has screenwriting aspirations. And he's looking to come out of the gate with a particularly ambitious project: an adaptation of the long-in-development novel Hyperion, by Dan Simmons. We haven't reported any real movement on this project in a long time. Producer Graham King owns the rights and once had Trevor Sands working on a screenplay [1]. We don't know how that worked out, but the fact that we haven't seen a film or heard anything in some time suggests that it did not work out tremendously well. So, while appearing on Charlie Rose [2] this week, Bradley Cooper said that he and a friend wrote a treatment for Hyperion on spec, and took it to Graham King. He says they're now negotiating to write a script for the film. He says "ideally I'd like to direct it, »

Could Bradley Cooper Be Interested In The Film Adaptation of Dan Simmons’ Hyperion Series ?
31 March 2011 10:28 AM, PDT | FusedFilm | See recent FusedFilm news »
Back in 2009 a report came out on ComingSoon that Scott Derrickson was set to direct Hyperion Cantos for Warner Bros. and Gk Films. Derrickson boarded the project that at the time and we assume still does plan to take two Dan Simmons sci-fi novels — “Hyperion” and “The Fall of Hyperion” — and meld them into one film being scripted by Trevor Sands.
The story is set in the distant future, as a space war threatens Hyperion, a planet known for the Time Tombs — large artifacts that can move through time and are guarded by a gruesome monster called the Shrike. Currently there is 4 novels in the series.
Well now in the latest issue of Elle Magazine there is a great interview with rising superstar Bradley Cooper, who will be returning to The Hangover once again this Memorial Day weekend. Cooper’s latest film Limitless was a box office success as well »
