Film Adaptation
Warner Brothers bought the rights to produce a film version of the first book, Magyk. Karen Rosenfelt will produce the film, with Sage serving as an executive producer. According to Cinematical.com, the making of the movie will not start before the final Harry Potter movie is completed. Sage said that the screenplay will be developed after the writer's strike was over. It was announced on July 17, 2009 that the movie will be live action, with computer animated effects, and David Frankel as director and Rob Lieber to adapt Magyk. At present, a re-write of the script is being done with screenwriter Mulroney and Warner Brothers are working with a studio to create some early conceptual design/look development. Sage commented: "It is very exciting to know that others are putting their creative input into my workâquite amazing really. I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole Septimus world up there on the big screen coming to life."

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or adaptation:
“You should look straight at a film; that’s the only way to see one. Film is not the art of scholars but of illiterates.”
—Werner Herzog (b. 1942)
“The real security of Christianity is to be found in its benevolent morality, in its exquisite adaptation to the human heart, in the facility with which its scheme accommodates itself to the capacity of every human intellect, in the consolation which it bears to the house of mourning, in the light with which it brightens the great mystery of the grave.”
—Thomas Babington Macaulay (1800–1859)
