Huge thanks to BookRiot for sharing the IMAX version of the Catching Fire poster.  It’s spectacular.  What do you think?

The final trailer for Catching Fire was released yesterday.  Enjoy!

Deadline has the news that A Tale Dark & Grimm by Adam Gidwitz will be made into a live-action film.  It will be directed by Henry Selick, who also directed several popular stop-action films: A Nightmare Before Christmas, James and the Giant Peach, and Coraline. 

I look forward to seeing this dark but very funny take on the Brothers Grimm tales brought to life.  I’m hoping that they keep the ages as young as in the book because that’s what adds to the delight and horror.

Patrick Ness fans have even more to celebrate than his new book (which is amazing).  The Wrap says that Robert Zemeckis is in negotiations to direct a film version of Chaos Walking for Lionsgate studios. 

Ness wrote the Chaos Walking trilogy in such a cinematic way that it should come as no surprise that it has been optioned for a movie.  His writing is stellar and makes the entire world appear before your eyes.  Getting a director like Zemeckis would make this even more of a contender to be a success following Hunger Games.

Thanks to Book Riot for the heads up.

JK Rowling will be partnering again with Warner Bros to bring a new film series to the big screen.  The new series will be based on her Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them book and will focus on the fictitious author of the book, Newt Scamander. The film will be set in New York, 70 years before the Harry Potter series. Rowling will be doing the screenwriting for the first time.

Fans can also expect a video game based on the book.
