Maximum Ride gets Catherine Hardwicke to Direct

By Kevin Coll • March 17, 2009 • 4 Comments

Catharine Hardwicke, who stamped her name into the first film of the Twilight saga, is now getting herself involved into another book series revolved around teens, this time instead vamps, she has genetic engineered teens on her hands.

According to The Hollywood Reporter,

“Catherine Hardwicke is in talks with Sony’s Columbia Pictures to develop and direct a film adaptation of another young-adult fantasy series, “Maximum Ride.” The five-volume series by James Patterson chronicles six teens, known as the Flock, who are genetically altered so that they are part human and part bird. Learning to fly, they escape the laboratory where they have been housed and are pursued by a pack of creatures called the Erasers that are part human and part wolf.”

Seems like an interesting series, I do not know if it something I am really into but Hardwicke is a solid director and I am glad she is continuing her stint in adapting action/adventure fantasy series for young adults.
