After a year of so of sitting on the shelf in legal limbo, the film adaptation of Dean Koontz's Odd Thomas, which was completed in 2011, will open in US theaters in Q1/2014.
"Director Stephen Sommers's spectacular style and extraordinary vision translates so well to the big screen for this material," said Bill Bromiley, Chief Acquisitions Officer for Image Entertainment, which has acquired the US rights to the film. "We are proud to distribute the film and introduce the magical world of Odd Thomas to a wider audience."
Anton Yelchin stars as Odd Thomas, a short-order cook with clairvoyant abilities. Maybe he has a gift, maybe it's a curse, Odd has never been sure, but he tries to do his best by the silent souls who seek him out. Sometimes they want justice and he finds himself helping police solve a crime. Occasionally, they prevent one.
One day, however, a mysterious man comes to town with a filing cabinet stuffed with information on the world's worst killers and a pack of hyena-like shades that follow him wherever he goes. Who the man is and what he wants, not even Odd's deceased informants can tell him. What happens next is a mysterious battle between light and darkness.

An Odd Thomas Novel
"The dead don't talk. I don't know why." But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant.
Sometimes the silent souls who seek out Odd Thomass want justice. Occasionally their otherworldly tips help him prevent a crime. But this time it's different.
A stranger comes to Pico Mundo, accompanied by a horde of hyena-like shades who herald an imminent catastrophe. Aided by his soul mate, Stormy Llewellyn, and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock 'n' Roll, Odd will race against time to thwart the gathering evil.
