Upcoming YA adaptations:
Paramount's nabbed the rights to Jasmine Warga’s My Heart And Other Black Holes. Summary:
The story centers on a pair of teenagers, Aysel Seran and Roman Franklin, who meet through an online site matching up suicide partners (these groups actually exist) to help ensure each partner will not back out of their own suicide. In a twist on Romeo and Juliet, they become more and more intimate through the 26-day countdown to their date until one question hangs between them: Will they live or will they die?
Lionsgate is in talks to acquire Anna Carey's Blackbird. Summary:
Written in the second person, its follows a young girl who wakes up on the tracks of the Los Angeles subway with no memory; a tattoo on her wrist of a blackbird and a code; and a backpack containing clothes, $1,000, a phone number and instructions not to call the police. The only thing she knows for sure is that people are trying to kill her, and a thrilling game of cat-and-mouse ensues.
