'Imaginarium' adaptation gets new writer
Published Tuesday, Apr 13 2010, 15:44 BST | By Shannon McGarvey
The Eagle Eye writer will draft the big screen versions of the first two books in Owen's The Chronicles Of The Imaginarium Geographica - Here, There Be Dragons and The Search For The Red Dragon.
A director for the scripts has yet to be announced, though Lord Of The Rings co-producer Rick Porras will steer the features.
The Chronicles are a series of nine books which begins when a group of strangers are brought together by a murder mystery in 1917 London. The strangers are told that they now own the Imaginarium Geographica, a map that leads to a mythical land.
The scripts for There Be Dragons and The Red Dragon are expected to be a part of a much longer, Harry Potter-like franchise.
