Some Book to Film News

by Elisa

I know that at least one of you out there will be glad to discover that The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan is reportedly coming to the big screen in 2009. So far the IMDB only lists this film as In Production, but I’ve heard a rumor that Chris Columbus has signed on to direct. More details on this one as I encounter them.

Also, Ian Falconer’s Olivia books are being made into an animated series that will be shown on Nick Jr. I’m not sure when this one is starting. Hopefully soon.

And finally, Caldecott-winning My Friend Rabbit by Eric Rohmann is set to be turned into an animated series as well. This series will premier on qubo in Fall 2007.

All sorts of books are coming to film in the next couple of years it seems. If you have any book to film news, please let me know!
