Fantasy is all the rage these days, and Roth Films has taken note. Fresh off of having produced Oz: The Great and Powerful, Deadline reports that the production company has teamed up with Jane Startz Productions to acquire the rights to the fantasy novel The School for Good and Evil.
Written by Soman Chainani, The School for Good and Evil is the first part in a planned trilogy that follows children plucked from their homes and sent to a school where they will be trained to become “fairy tale heroes and villains, princesses, and witches.” The School for Good and Evil focuses on a young beauty named Sophie, who is placed in the School for Evil, while her best friend, the homely Agatha, is sent to the School for Good. Naturally, they find their fortunes reversed and are forced to confront their true, albeit unexpected, destinies.
The script will be written Chainani and Malia Scotch Marmo, who wrote the extremely underrated and totally awesome Hook. The School for Good and Evil was published in the U.S. on May 14th by HarperCollins in the US and will arrive June 6th in the U.K.
