WICKED LOVELY Series to Universal
UPDATE: This project has been dropped by Universal, but the producers are still shopping it around.
The first title in the Melissa Marr series, Wicked Lovely (Harper Teen), is being made into a movie at Universal. Vince Vaughn is producing and Mary Harron (American Psycho) has just been hired to direct. She just completed The Moth Diaries, based on the debut vampire novel by Rachel Klein (Counterpoint, 2002). No release date has been set for it.
The series of five books is a modern faerie story which began in 2007 with Wicked Lovely; the final book, Darkest Mercy, came out in February. All five were on the NYT Children’s and YA best seller list. Her adult novel, Graveminder, came out in last month.
