Ally Condie et Brendan Reichs en tandem pour une nouvelle trilogie middle-grade

Les deux auteurs co-écriront DARKDEEP, une trilogie de suspense horrifique pour les jeunes lecteurs, dans la lignée de « Stranger Things » et « The Goonies ».

Les ouvrages d’Ally Condie sont publiés en France par Gallimard Jeunesse, alors que Brendan Reichs est connu pour ses livres co-écrits avec sa mère, l’anthropologue judiciaire et romancière Kathy Reichs (XO éditions).

Deux adaptations cinématographiques annoncées !

La première est celle du roman de David Barclay Moore, THE STARS BENEATH OUR FEET, publié par Alfred A. Knopf Books for Young Readers en septembre. Endeavor Content en a acquis les droits et a confié la réalisation à l’acteur Michael B. Jordan, connu pour son rôle de Wallace dans la série télévisée The Wire (« Sur écoute ») et qui sera pour la première fois derrière la caméra.

La deuxième concerne GENIUS, trilogie YA de Leopoldo Gout. Le producteur sera Sean McKittrick, qui avec « Get Out » a obtenu l’un des meilleurs scores de l’année du cinéma indépendant (253 millions de dollars encaissés pour un budget de 4,5 millions de dollars). Il a déclaré :

« Genius is a unicorn, a rare gem that is brilliantly written and entertaining but also has the ability to make positive change in the world, and following the success of Get Out it has become the focus of my new company QC Entertainment to produce films and television series that not only entertain, but have a deeper meaning to create positive change on a global scale. Adapting Leopoldo’s book series into an international television event series is a priority for us and that is why we are partnering with Endeavor Content/IMG to help bring Leopoldo’s vision to television screens worldwide. »

Carlos Serrano has never solved a mystery in his life. And he’s counting on you to solve his first one. On the morning of a big investigation that would save her failing detective agency, Carlos’s mom gets sick with a nasty flu. But Las Pistas Detective Agency can’t afford to lose this case, or they will close down for sure. That’s where Carlos—and you—come in. With the help of his best friend, Eliza, and her wild little brother, Frank, Carlos takes over the investigation. The mystery involves an eccentric local millionaire, who starts receiving death threats. It appears that someone wants to get their hands on a buried fortune. However, the search for the culprit is complicated by tricky riddles, cagey suspects, hidden secrets, and dozens of impossible choices. Can you help Carlos and his friends figure out who’s sending the death threats, find a lost treasure, and save Las Pistas Detective Agency? Or will it be case closed? You pick the path, you crack the case!
