I\u2019m pleased to announce that Stephen Susco, writer of THE GRUDGE, and writer\/producer of upcoming films HIGH SCHOOL (June 1st) and THE POSSESSION (Aug 30), has optioned the film and tv rights in Prince of Thorns and the Broken Empire trilogy published by Ace\/Berkley in the US and Voyager in the UK.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Great news for Lawrence and fans of The Broken Empire<\/em> series. I’m always skeptical about announcements like these, because an option being taken on a book series is only the very first, small step in a film or television series being produced, but it’s neat nonetheless. Lawrence’s novel is known for both its nihilistic and brutal world and the dark humour of the protagonist, Jorg, and it will be interesting to see how this transitions to screen, without making audiences squeamish.<\/p>\n
