Disney is set to move forward with a film adaptation of Tomi Adeyemi’s bestselling fantasy novel, Children of Blood and Bone, as a possible new project at Lucasfilm.
Deadline reports that This is Us writer Kay Oyegun has been tapped to write the script for the feature property, which was originally being developed by Fox 2000, but has since caught the eye of Lucasfilm’s Kathleen Kennedy.
Sources claim that the Lucasfilm president is in the process of making this the first non-Star Wars or Indiana Jones-related project since the Disney acquisition in 2012.
