You know who Deepak Chopra is, right? He's the author who's into mind-body medicine, who publishes tons of self-help books, and who used to be a leader of the Transcendental Meditation movement. He also wrote a graphic novel a few years ago called Beyond, and now Variety reports that he will adapt the piece into a screenplay for Suri Krishnamma (Being Othello) to direct.

Deepak Chopra is best known for being a spiritual guru type – you might have caught him playing himself in The Love Guru, but if you didn’t, count yourself lucky you skipped that awful film – but he’s also become something of a comics creator. And now he’s adapting one of his titles, Beyond, into a film.Beyond finds a businessman travelling to India on holiday with his family who is stunned when his wife vanishes. He starts a desperate search for her, guided by the sound of her voice from the ether.“This is a story about reality being multi-dimensional and how we can take journeys to realms we never dreamed of by separating the veils that partition our minds,” is how Chopra explains it. Being Othello director Suri Krishnamma is the man responsible for getting that feeling up on the screen.
