I had not read Brandon Mull’s Fablehaven series of fantasy books for young readers, but like much that has come out since the rise of Harry Potter, you knew it was going to fall somewhere between that series and the more adult fantasy of say J.R.R. Tolkien. I mean, as a reader of this genre over the decades, I’ve become pretty critical of writers attempts at World Building this genre demands. Only a few authors have succeed in creating interesting Universes to pay homage to the granddaddy of all fantasy, The Lord of the Rings, but most are ignored, like David Eddings, Stephen R. Donaldson (two mainstays of the 1980s), Tad Williams and Raymond E. Feist. While Terry Brooks (another 80s writer) remains popular, his multi-volume Shannara series (along with Piers Anthony’s Xanth series) have become over bloated with prequels and sequels that dilute the franchise to...

To me, living in 2010 seems like the future (well a bit anyway), and some of the things people dreamt of in years gone by have indeed come to pass. We have iPods which contain all our music, videos and data like the PADDs in Star Trek, have unlocked parts of the human genome, cloned livestock and created primitive artificial life. And while we don't have jet-packs, teleporters or the ability to travel to Mars, current technology hasn't don't too badly on the whole.
We love our technology, all sleek, thin and mobile, full of wafer-thin elements that can pass data at massive rates, wrapped up in shiny and lovingly-designed bits of kit. The ‘aesthetic of the...

Chris Palmer is attached to direct A Spell for Chameleon for Warner Bros. Pictures. Wolfgang Petersen is producing via his Radiant Prods. banner along with David Benioff.
Chameleon is based on the Piers Anthony novel that kicked off his incredibly popular and long-running Xanth novel series. The story is set in the kingdom of Xanth, where everyone has magical powers, and centers on a young man who is exiled for having none. He later returns to reveal his true gift when the kingdom needs saving.
"The 'Harry Potter' books are about magic people and Muggles, humans who have no powers and, ironically, the people reading them are Muggles themselves," Palmer said. "So I like this idea of turning that around. I like how (the main character's) lack of magical abilities ends up saving the day."
The aim, he said, is to make Chameleon as an adult-skewing family movie.
Palmer, a U.K.-based commercial director, is behind a British-tinged live-action version of The Simpsons opening credits, which was a massive hit on YouTube and has spawned imitations. Palmer is attached to direct the adaptation The Keepers of the Truth as well as Lunatic at Large, based on an idea by Stanley Kubrick. He is repped by CAA.
Courtenay Valenti will oversee the project for the studio.
