　　The main character is Dr. Max Holst, a successful neurosurgeon. One day an intense little man named Steinmetz shows up, who has the real ability to create objects out of thin air, using only his mind. As no one believes him at first, he is held at a ward for mental patients, but manifests the key to his door and escapes. As he has a special interest in Dr. Holst, Steinmetz subsequently invites Holst to his large mansion, which is full of expensive paintings and sculptures, and proves to him that he can in fact materialise objects. Steinmetz’s abilities are evolving by leaps and bounds, and is progressing from being able to create objects only to being able to create living things. His ultimate ambition is to be able to create a human being. He tells Dr. Holst that if he will only perform a certain brain operation on him, Steinmetz will become able to attain his goal. He’s got all the necessary equipment set up in his basement. Dr. Holst, however, is too spooked by the whole thing to agree to this mad scheme, and refuses. Steinmetz then sets about manipulating Holst’s life, to pressure him into performing the operation. By then Steinmetz has become able to create a temporary human being, and in the hope that he can perhaps make his own creation perform the operation, he manifests a doppelganger of Dr. Holst. This double proceeds to take over Dr. Holst’s life, creating chaos for him professionally and personally. And then Dr. Holst starts fighting back. The ending has the dual virtue of being both unexpected and satisfying.

　　末日喪鐘再度敲響，帶領觀眾直視人性毀滅的煉獄，感染者的威脅和幸存人類的邪惡。

 曾拍《大空頭》（The Big Short）聚焦美國次貸危機的導演亞當·邁凱（Adam McKay）日前與派拉蒙簽約，將導演一部講述美國前副總統迪克·切尼（Dick Cheney）故事的傳記片。而布拉德·皮特的“B計劃”制片公司也將繼《點球成金》、《大空頭》后再次與邁凱合作，制作這部電影。迪克·切尼號稱是美國歷史上最有權勢的副總統，他也是現任美國副總統彭斯（Mike Pence）的效仿對象。布什當政八年時間里，表面上切尼是美國的二號人物，但實際上小布什總統（George W. Bush）的很多決定，包括阿富汗戰爭、入侵伊拉克等都是由他定奪的。切尼本人是一個充滿爭議的矛盾體。他一直都是保守黨派，曾為尼克松、福特、老布什政府做過幕僚，后進入哈利伯頓公司當了幾年CEO，然后和小布什一起入主白宮；但他對于同性戀婚姻卻持支持態度，因為他的女兒是一名女同性戀。此外，切尼五次拖延不愿去越戰戰場，卻是個不折不扣的主戰鷹派。亞當·邁凱說：“我一直覺得切尼是個有意思的人物，很想搞清楚究竟是什么在驅動他、他到底信仰什么。所以我們就做了深挖調查，結果令人震驚，切尼堪稱是美國現代史上最有權力的政治人物，他在很大程度上塑造了美國現在的國際地位，而他為了攫取權力所采取的方式也令人瞠目結舌。”亞當·邁凱希望能在2017年春拍攝本片，并在年底上映。目前他正在物色合適的演員人選。亞當·邁凱拍攝《切尼傳》，意味著他之前接手的《壞血》（Bad Blood）項目要往后推遲了。
