David Fincher of Fight Club and Se7en fame has optioned The Automatic Detective by fantasy author A. Lee Martinez along with Blur Animation Studios. No word yet what role Fincher will take in the production. Martinez, who won an Alex Award for his debut Gil's All Fright Diner, also has his novels In the Company of Ogres and the aforementioned Gil's on option for film treatments.

On behalf of mcnallyrobinson.com I was happy to interview A. Lee Martinez back in October. You can also read a review of The Automatic Detective here.
