Twilight Is Back Back
Stephenie Meyer’s finally released the book she’d shelved in 2012 that retold the first Twilight book but swapped perspective from Bella to Edward. The book, Midnight Sun, sold over a million copies in a week, which will make this next bit of news not surprising in the least: Meyer is planning on writing two more books for the Twilight Saga.
Roxane Gay Adaptation
Roxane Gay’s six-part graphic novel The Banks, about “three generations of Black female master thieves in Chicago,” is not only getting the film adaptation treatment but Gay will executive produce and write the script. “’I am thrilled to revisit the world of ‘The Banks.’ Clara, Cora, and Celia Banks are fierce women with compelling stories that will really come alive on the silver screen,’ Gay said in a statement.”
Harriet the Spy Will Be Animated
Louse Fitzhugh’s 1964 book Harriet the Spy is getting its first animation treatment in the form of an Apple TV+ series. And we already know the voices of Harriet (Beanie Feldstein, who you know from Booksmart) and Harriet’s nanny, Ole Golly (Jane Lynch, who you know from Glee).
