News Death of a Pop Star Diablo Cody to Adapt Death of a Pop Star Webtoon When a pop star takes a spill and wakes up in Hell… By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 28, 2024 Courtesy of Webtoon Comment 0 Share New Share Courtesy of Webtoon Another Webtoon will be getting a film adaptation. This time around it will be Death of a Popstar by Violet Karim, which has 33 million global views to date. Here’s the synopsis, per Variety, which broke the news: Death of a Pop Star will bring to life the supernatural story of Sophie, a beloved pop star at the top of her game — until she takes a tumble from the top of the stairs and wakes up in Hell.Lucky for her, the Grim Reaper is her number one fan and, in a desperate attempt to save his idol, secretly gives Sophie a second chance at life back on Earth. But with Sophie’s resurrection comes a deadly target on her back when she’s threatened with being dragged back to Hell. Diablo Cody, whose credits include Juno, Jennifer’s Body and the recent film, Lisa Frankenstein, is set to produce the movie along with her regular collaborator, Mason Novick. The script will come from Isa Mazzei, who also penned How to Blow Up a Pipeline. They are teaming up with Wattpad Webtoon Studios, where Aron Levitz, David Madden and Jason Goldberg will be executive producing. “Death of a Pop Star is one of those titles that just lends itself so perfectly to a live-action adaptation,” Wattpad Webtoon Studios president Levitz said in a statement to Variety. “Violet created such a mesmerizing, must-read story, and when it came to choosing a partner to help us bridge the gap between the living and the dead, who else does that better than Diablo Cody?” Cody added, “As a huge fan of both pop music and the undead, I am so excited to help bring this offbeat story to the screen.” No news yet on when the project will go into production, much less when it will make its way to a screen near you.

News The String Diaries Vampirates and The String Diaries Series Have Adaptations in Development Both are part of a strategy to find titles that “slipped the cracks” for adaptations five or ten years ago By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on May 28, 2024 Comment 0 Share New Share RubyRock Pictures is backing two adaptations of somewhat older book series. One is The String Diaries from author Stephen Lloyd Jones, which is getting adapted for television by Steven Lightfoot, whose credits include showrunning Netflix’s The Punisher and spearheading the upcoming Spider-Man series, Noir, starring Nicolas Cage. According to Deadline, which broke the news, Sony Pictures is also backing the project. The first book came out in 2013 and begins by focusing on a woman named Hannah, whose family is in danger as she looks to protect a trove of diaries that date back 200 years. Those tomes come from her ancestors, passed down from mother to daughter, and serve as a survival guide against a supernatural foe. The book skips through time, going back to nineteenth-century Hungary, 1970s Oxford, England, and present day. The second series, Vampirates by Justin Somper, is currently looking for a showrunner. The middle grade novels are about two siblings, Conner and Grace Tempest, who are separated at sea and raised on two very different ships. One of those ships—you’ve already guessed it—is led by an Irish vampire named Lorcan Furey. The first book, Demons of the Ocean, came out in 2005. The older debut dates of the two series are part of RubyRock’s strategy of finding titles that “slipped the cracks five to ten years ago,” according to the company’s CEO, Zoë Rocha. She added to Deadline, “Everything is going on pre-empts and is so beyond our price bracket but there is so much content out there that slips through. [Slightly older novels] are a really good place to look.” No news yet on if/when these projects will go into production, much less make it to a television screen.
