Ridley Scott is set to produce the feature adaptation of My Lady Jane through his Scott Free Productions banner. Co-authored by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, the book is a one-of-a-kind fantasy that bends historical fact to hilarious effect.
Brodi Ashton
Centers around Lady Jane Grey, who is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin of his throne – the least of the sixteen year-old’s problems, really, given that she’s about to become Queen of England.
Pitched as in the vein of The Princess Bride, tells the story of Lady Jane Grey in an alternate 16th century England where the warring Protestants and Catholics are instead Shape-Shifters and Those that despise them.
YA novel My Lady Jane is hot on the market, with sources confirming that Holly Frederick of Curtis Brown Ltd is out to three interested producers, with the potential of going wide.
