Choose Your Own Adventure Adaptation

Deadline confirmed that Disney’s 20th Century Studios is developing a film adaptation of the Choose Your Own Adventure series. Choose Your Own Adventure comprises a series of “gamebooks,” nonlinear, replayable and user-directed stories, in which readers are the hero and decide how the story ends. Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett will work from a script by Tom Bissell.

Lily May B Casting

Jenna Ortega is set to star in the film Lily May B. “Once upon a time, there was a little girl, a young woman and a young boy. They each held a secret too heavy to bear. They met in an end-of-the-world world, and together rode a big motorcycle through empty cities, deserted freeways, immemorial forests. On their journey, they encountered many dangers, but kept going. In search of who they were; in search of a place to B, maybe?” Leos Carax will direct.

Take Me With You Adaptation

Variety confirmed that WB Discovery is developing a series adaptation of Steven Rowley’s novel Take Me With You.

“Take Me With You is about college professor Jesse del Ruth who has been abandoned. Thirty years into their relationship, Jesse witnesses his husband Norman get out of bed late one night, walk into their Joshua Tree backyard, step into a strange beam of light and disappear. As Jesse struggles to understand Norman’s disappearance, he tries to piece together his new reality. Is he expected to wait patiently for a partner who may never come back? Or is this an opportunity for reinvention?”

Bill Lawrence will serve as executive producer.
