Chaos always ensues when you “read from the Book” in movies. A Discovery of Witches is no exception. Warner Bros is adapting the novel written by Deborah Harkness for the big screen. The story follows a witch who is “a direct descendant of the first woman executed in the Salem Witch trials” and “accidentally unlocks an enchanted manuscript and finds herself in a race to prevent an interspecies war” involving vampires.
According to Variety, Warner Bros acquired the rights to the book in the summer of 2011. David Auburn, who won a Tony Award for Best Play in 2001 for his play Proof, will be writing the screenplay. Denise Di Novi and Allison Greenspan are producers on this project.
A Discovery of Witches is the first book in the All Souls Trilogy.
