Spike Lee has acquired the rights to "Time Traveler: A Scientist's Personal Mission to Make Time Travel a Reality" which he plans on co-writing and directing into a feature adaptation under his Forty Acres & A Mule Filmworks banner.
"Mallett, who wrote the book with Bruce Henderson, recounts his rise from poverty to a distinguished academic and scientific career, and it lays out the technical specs for what Mallett envisions as a workable time machine. Developing a time machine became an obsession for Mallett from the age of 10 after his father's death. His goal was to travel back in time to save his father."
Lee has previously been interested in the subject of time travel as was seen in his potential involvement in the Fox drama SELLING TIME which tells the story of a man who sells party of his life expectancy to go back and time and relive the worst day of his life. Lee is no longer involved in that project.
The video below details Mallet's work into creating a real life time machine.
