Anne McCaffrey's best-selling and long-running sci-fi/fantasy series THE DRAGONRIDERS OF PERN is getting the big-screen treatment via Canadian production company Copperheart Entertainment, says The Hollywood Reporter.

Copperheart, which was behind the 2005 Oscar-winning animated short "Ryan," has optioned the 19-book series, which began with the "Dragonflight" in 1968.

The books are best known for having humans ride dragons with which they telepathically bond. With "Dragonflight," McCaffrey became the first woman ever to win a Hugo for fiction, and she is one of the 2006 inductees into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame.

Too bad it's not coming out until after Eragon. Those not familiar with this series may think Dragonriders were inspired by Eragon, instead of vice versa.
