Acting siblings Willow (I Am Legend) and Jaden Smith (The Pursuit of Happyness) are attached to star in Warner Bros. Pictures’ adaptation of Kazu Kibuishi’s “Amulet.” Akiva Goldsman’s Weed Road and Will Smith and James Lassiter’s Overbrook Entertainment will produce.
The graphic novel centers on a brother and sister who move into their late great-grandfather’s home after their father dies. They must use his amulet to rescue their widowed mother from a beast who lures her into an underground world.
Five books are planned in the Scholastic series, with the second installment scheduled for release this year.
