Universal has announced that they are adapting Alexandra Bracken’s Lore into a feature film, with Amy Pascal (Spider-Man movies) is attached to produce the project. Joe Shrapnel and Anna Waterhouse are set to adapt the screenplay for the film.
The story is described as “Hunger Games meets Greek mythology, follows Lore Perseous whose family was murdered as a part of the Agon, a divine hunt that occurs every seven years as punishment for a past rebellion by nine Greek gods, who are forced to walk the earth as mortals and be hunted. After years in hiding, Lore has to decide if she re-enters the Agon to avenge her family’s death with the help of a childhood friend she thought was dead and Athena, one of the last of the original gods.”
Bracken will executive produce. The author’s other novel The Darkest Minds was adapted by 20th Century Fox as a young adult feature starring Amandla Stenberg and Harris Dickinson. Her next book, an Arthurian-inspired contemporary fantasy titled Silver in the Bone, is out April 4. She is represented by CAA and Writers House.
