'WILLA OF THE WOOD'
GETS TV SERIES ADAPTATION
The book is expected to get sequels |
The story of the YA novel is set in a dark, mysterious forest where
its ancient inhabitants, known as the Faeran, don’t trust the
destructive, tree-cutting humans. Willa, the clan’s best forager and
thief, has been taught to avoid humans at all costs. As Willa’s
adventures offer her insight about mankind, she becomes a bridge between
two competing worlds, but soon encounters conflict from all sides.
'THE MAGIC FLUTE' MOVIE
FROM ROLAND EMMERICH
Speaking of adaptations, Deadline also reports that Pixomondo, the VFX firm which created dragons in Game of Thrones, has joined Roland
Emmerich produced feature film adaptation of Mozart’s THE MAGIC FLUTE directed by Florian Sigl! They will do special effects and character animation in the film set in today’s Europe: when 17-year old Tim Walker is sent from London to the Austrian Alps to start his singing scholarship at the legendary Mozart boarding school, he discovers a century old forgotten passageway into the fantastic world of THE MAGIC FLUTE. In the opera itself, the Queen of the Night persuades Prince Tamino to rescue her daughter Pamina from captivity under the high priest Sarastro; instead, he learns the high ideals of Sarastro's community and seeks to join it.
The production starts at the end of the year |
Well this is a nice change from her latest film choice. I'm an Amy Adams fan and thoroughly enjoy most of her work. :)
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen her in anything for ages ever since she moved over to TV. The same goes for Nicole and Reese.
DeleteShe was in that alien movie, but I haven’t watched it yet.
DeleteI haven't either.
Delete"The Magic Flute" is one of my favourite operas. I can see why CGI would benefit a film version.
ReplyDeleteYes, operatic version usually has stunning costumes and masks.
DeleteThe Magic Flute is a beautiful opera! And Willa of the Wood seems interesting, thanks for the tips :)
ReplyDeleteBe welcome :)
DeleteI haven't heard of Willa of the Wood book, but the story sounds cute.
ReplyDeleteI bet the special effects in The Magic Flute will be enchanting!
Fingers crossed, it will be interesting seeing a German blockbuster.
