According to the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. Pictures has pre-emptively bought
the rights to an upcoming children’s novel HERE, THERE BE DRAGONS. The novel,
written by James A. Owen, brings together three strangers — John, Jack and Charles —
in London during World War I, where they become entrusted with the Imaginarium Geographica,
an atlas of all the lands that have ever existed in myth and legend, fable and fairy tale.
They end up traveling to the Archipelago of Dreams, fighting the dark forces that threaten
two worlds. Simon & Schuster will release 100,000 copies of the book in hardcover
next week. David Heyman and David Goyer are slated to produce.
Orson Scott Card has a gift for understatement.
