Visiting Writes. Pamela Sargent signing her novel (soon to be a movie) EARTHSEED.
Twilight Saga screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg has been tapped by Paramount Pictures to adapt and produce a feature film version of the 1983 sci-fi young adult novel Earthseed by Pamela Sargent. The story follows a group of teenagers created from genetic material and raised by a spacecraft seeking a new planet to repopulate humanity.
Anybody read these books? If so, do you think there’s a multi-million dollar franchise here? And which sci-fi/fantasy YA series that hasn’t yet gotten the film treatment do you think would make amazing movies? (The answer, obviously, is Tamora Pierce’s “Song of the Lioness” quartet, but who’s counting?)
"There are several sequences of intense action and danger that will have you reading rapidly and almost breathless with anticipation."
— Earthseed – Pamela Sargent (A Review) | Bibliophilic Monologues
Earthseed is a remarkable and astonishing novel, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. I was extremely excited to learn that it was recently optioned by Paramont to become a major motion picture, with Melissa Rosenberg, who also wrote the movie adaptations for the entire Twilight series, set to pen the script.
"The weapons are held to the head of all the world, and the world behaves. No one has an advantage; no one can win."
