ISLAMABAD
\nJames Cameron doesn\u2019t need more work on his plate. The filmmaker is firmly ensconced in the world of Avatar right now, still in the midst of cooking up several planned sequels \u2013 including the impending third chapter, Avatar: Fire And Ash \u2013 all while mulling the idea of an animated anthology, and plotting an adaptation of nuclear-war-themed historical drama Ghosts Of Hiroshima too. So, when another story forces its way onto Cameron\u2019s schedule, you know it has to be a good one. Enter The Devils, a freshly-published fantasy novel by Joe Abercrombie that became an instant New York Times bestseller, and had its rights promptly snapped up by Cameron \u2013 who plans to adapt it himself.

He\u2019s not wrong \u2013 it\u2019s a story that takes in monks, immortal knights, werewolves, elves, pirates, vampires, and necromancers, all caught up in a plot to bring a thief to Troy in a fantastical alternate-reality medieval Europe. \u201cI was literally reading parts of the book out loud to my wife Suzy,\u201d Cameron recalls. \u201cAnd it dawned on me: \u2018I like this book so much, I should just buy it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
