Bill Brittain's 'The Wish Giver' to be Developed for TV
Brett Carducci and Stephen Laddin acquired the television and film rights to "The Wish Giver" by Bill Brittain, according to Variety. Carducci and Laddin will produce a series based on the young-adult novel.
"The Wish Giver" tells the story of three children, each granted a wish that, when fulfilled, turns horribly wrong. The pair intend to develop an anthology series, like that of "Black Mirror" or Are You Afraid of the Dark?"
Each episode will take viewers through the journey of a teenager wishing for something different in his or her own life, and having that wish come true - though not in the way intended. The teen must then learn a moral lesson that reverses the wish.
The project doesn't have a network attached yet.
