Jessica Townsend’s popular fantasy novel, 'Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow,' is set to be adapted into a musical by Drew Goddard.
Paramount Pictures has announced that they have acquired the rights to adapt the young adult fantasy novel Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow from Jessica Townsend. The upcoming musical adaptation of the bestselling novel has brought on The Martian and The Cabin in the Woods writer Drew Goddard writing the screenplay. The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey will return to the director's chair for the upcoming film.
Along with acting as director on the project, Gracey will also be providing original music for the musical adaptation. Goddard will also act as a producer on the movie alongside Sarah Esberg via Goddard Textiles. Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow was released in 2017 and was the first entry in what became a trilogy of books, which includes 2018's Wundersmith: The Calling of Morrigan Crow and Hollowpox: The Hunt for Morrigan Crow from 2020.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY As the names would suggest, the story of the first novel follows Morrigan Crow, a girl born on the unluckiest day and blamed for all the misfortune that befalls the city of Jackalfax. One the day that she is meant to die, she escapes with a man named Jupiter North to the magical city of Nevermoor. There, she has the chance to escape her fate and join the Wundrous Society, an elite group of people that have "remarkable" talents.
