I love the access authors are recently gaining when it comes to adaptations of their own novels! Read Erin and Posh's reviews of the first three books here, here and here.
Lifetime might make an unauthorized, behind-the-scenes Beverly Hills 90210 movie.
Starz is definitely making a television series out of Neil Gaiman's American Gods.
Maleficent 2 is on - with or without Angie.
Hopefully on: a Kenneth Branagh-directed adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. Follow Jill's great Christie & Cocktails series here!
Is Princess Diaries 3 happening? No.
But CW miiiight give Hawkgirl her own spinoff out of the upcoming (and wonderful-looking) CW DC series Legends of Tomorrow.
And finally: they're not all The Hunger Games. 21 YA adaptations that failed to launch.
That's it for this week! Give us your thoughts downstairs.
