>EXCLUSIVE: Dan Mazer has been set to direct Anya’s Ghost, a supernatural comedy based on the graphic novel by Vera Brosgol. Entertainment One is financing; Bolt Pictures’ Jeremy Bolt is producing with Bullitt Entertainment’s Benedict Carver and eOne. Script was written by Patrick Ness, the author and screenwriter behind A Monster Calls and Chaos Walking. Production will begin before year’s end. Mazer directed Dirty Grandpa and I Give It A Year.
>The film is a coming-of-age story with a supernatural twist and dark comic overtones. Anya is a less than popular 16-year-old who gets stranded in an underground cave. There, she meets and rescues Emily, the apparent ghost of a teen who died a century earlier. While Anya thinks her new “friend” is the best thing to ever happen to her, the alliance has unforeseen consequences for Anya, her friends and her family.
>Said Bolt: “Patrick is so passionate about the source material, and his screenplay is fresh and distinctive. We love Dan’s vision to make a classic high school comedy with a supernatural twist.”
Thoughts?
I think it's a shame they're doing it live action.
