Ellen DeGeneres To Produce Adaptation Of Naomi Novik's Novel

Darpan News Desk IANS, 09 Jun, 2015 11:02 AM
    Popular talk show host Ellen DeGeneres has teamed up with her partner at A Very Good Production banner, Jeff Kleeman, to produce an adaptation of Naomi Novik's new fantasy novel "Uprooted".
     
    Warner Bros has acclaimed the rights for the film, reports hollywoodreporter.com.
     
    The book, which was released on May 21, tells a story of a young woman named Agnieszka, who lives near the border of an evil wood, with only a wizard named Dragon who seems to keep the danger at bay. The price for the man's protection is that a woman from the village is sent to serve him for 10 years, and to everyone's surprise, the rather plain Agnieszka is selected. And then the adventurous journey begins.
     
    "Uprooted" is said to be inspired with shades of "Beauty and the Beast" and "Howl's Moving Castle".
