Gaumont to Adapt ‘The Star Shards Chronicles’ Into Animated Series
Gaumont has optioned global rights to “The Star Shards Chronicles,” the epic trilogy penned by New York Times bestselling author Neal Shusterman, and is developing it as a high-concept animated series.
“The Star Shards Chronicles,” published by Simon & Schuster, follows the journey of six ordinary kids conceived at the same instant that a star explodes light-years away, causing them to receive extraordinary powers which they will use to save the world and defeat the mysterious sources attacking them.
“Neal’s characters have feelings and experiences that all kids can understand and this is what draws them to his books. (Shusterman) is not only the writer of these amazing stories but will be a part of the team as we work together to bring this empowering trilogy to life,” said Nicolas Atlan, the Los Angeles-based president of animation at Gaumont. “Gaumont has always pushed the boundaries of creativity in storytelling, and we will do so once again as we work closely with Neal throughout this adventure.”
