Kimberly Peirce, the Boys Don’t Cry helmer who last directed Stop-Loss, has come aboard the Melissa Marr fantasy novel Wicked Lovely for Universal Pictures and Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Picture Show Productions. Caroline Thompson is writing the script, the first in a series about a teenaged girl who has seen dangerous faeries all her life. Taught by her grandmother to ignore them so they won’t attack, the teen realizes she must drop that and confront a world she has been raised to fear.


Sounds fantastic, what a great and unique pairing of Caroline Thompson and Kim Peirce. I don’t even like fantasy, but this sounds like a total winner, something I would actually want to see.
A very talented director with integrity. Always look forward to anything she’s involved with.
Read the book – I enjoyed it. As entertaining as any YA supernatural book. In the right hands with the right cast it could do well with the TwiFans.
Sounds boring – Arnold Kopelson – I think he still controls – the best fairy project.
