In the wake of directing “Into the Dark: My Valentine” for Blumhouse and Hulu, Maggie Levin has set up her next project, set to write an adaptation of young adult novel Caster.
Deadline reports that Levin is adapting Elsie Chapman’s novel for Paramount.
The site compares Caster to both Hunger Games and Fight Club.
“Caster centers around Aza Wu who knows that real magic is dangerous and illegal. In fact, casting killed her sister, Shire. As with all magic, everything comes at a price. For Aza, it feels like everything in her life has some kind of cost attached to it. Her sister had been casting for money to pay off Saint Willow, the gang leader that oversees her sector of Lotusland; and now that debt falls on Aza’s shoulders. With Shire dead, Aza must step in to save the legacy of Wu Teas, the teahouse that has been in her family for centuries. Aza enters herself in an underground casting tournament, one in which she must fight for her life.”
The film adaptation comes courtesy of Scholastic Entertainment, Josephson Entertainment, and Weed Road.
