Covenant Heads For Movies
Revelstone Entertainment and the Mark Gordon Co. are teaming up to produce a feature-film version of Stephen Donaldson's fantasy book series The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Revelstone has optioned the rights to the first six books in the series, which Band of Brothers writer John Orloff will adapt, the trade paper reported. Mark Gordon is producing, with Revelstone's Peter Winther and Randy Simon. Lawrence Inglee will oversee the project on behalf of the Mark Gordon Co., the trade paper reported.
The books revolve around a shunned author (Covenant) who is magically transported to the Land, a mystical world where he discovers he is the incarnation of a great hero. Covenant thinks it's all a dream. But he's the bearer of a magical talisman and is enlisted to help save the Land from Saturn and his representatives, the trade paper reported.
Revelstone also has optioned the film rights to Clifford D. Simak's SF novel Way Station. Winther, who helmed the recent TNT movie The Librarian: Quest for the Spear, will direct the film from an adaptation by screenwriter Simon Barry.
