I chose to write this particular story as a book because I wanted to create a story that I could present to an audience in its purest form. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to present to you my first novel, Abomination. Currently I’m writing the movie adaptation of the Mark Millar comic Starlight for 20th Century Fox. Most recently, I served as screenwriter for the upcoming Star Wars standalone film which will be released next year. Whitta wrote on the campaign’s website, “Hi! My name is Gary and I’m a screenwriter turned author. My best-known work is my original screenplay for The Book of Eli, the post-apocalyptic thriller starring Denzel Washington. I also co-wrote the Will Smith sci-fi movie After Earth, and helped create Telltale Games’ The Walking Dead, for which I was the co-recipient of a BAFTA award for Best Story. Last week, Star Wars and The Book of Eli writer, Gay Whitta launched a campaign on book publishing crowdfunding platform Inkshares to raise funds for his new novel, Abomination.
