Odd Thomas (2013)
Odd Thomas is a supernatural mystery thriller directed by Stephen Somner who also wrote the screenplay and co-produced. It stars that late Anton Yelchin. This would Stephen Somner’s last film to direct to date with his next project caught in production hell since 2005. The film was a box office bomb due to law suits and mismanagement of release. The film would find its audience on streaming services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu. The film has also been reassessed by critics who consider this as one of the better Koontz adaptions.
We are joined by writer and scriptwriter, Barry Waldo.
