Source: Variety Warner Bros. and Graham King's Initial Entertainment Group have acquired the Kit Whitfield werewolf novel BENIGHTED. King will produce the bigscreen adaptation with Andrew Adamson, who'll develop it as a potential directing vehicle, reports Variety. Originally published in the U.K. under the title "Bareback," BENIGHTED is an alternate reality story in which 90% of the population is werewolf. Everyone else must keep the peace during the full moon. After starting with the "Shrek" franchise, Adamson moved to live action with "The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" and is prepping the sequel "Prince Caspian" for Walden Media and Disney. |
