Wheatley vs Ballard

Ben "overrated" Wheatley has signed up to ruin adapt J. G. Ballard's fabulous, thought-provoking, and still resonant novel High Rise. Perhaps I'm being a little cruel, but so far I've disliked each of Wheatley's movies. Perhaps a solid foundation text is just what he needs in order to make a decent film. At the moment, I am hoping that this deal will crumble.
