Super cool news! Daughter of Smoke and Bone *may* be made into a movie! EW.com Shelf Life reported the movie rights were sold to Universal. BUT, these kinds of deals happen all the time, it doesn't mean the movie will for sure get made, or it might take a long time. Movie studios are looking for the next big YA crossover after Twilight made so much money, and The Hunger Games, which isn't even out yet, is speculated to make a lot of cash (and it should!).
The Hunger Games is a great series, so I hope it translates well on the screen. Daughter of Smoke and Bone is one of my favorites of 2011, it's a very inventive, magical story that's different than what's out there for teen movies. It's fantasy and contemporary, kind of like Harry Potter's mix of muggle and magic worlds.
I wish it well!
What other books do you wish would be made into a movie?
