Francis Lawrence, Paramount Team for 'Red Rising' Movie Adaptation
Francis Lawrence, the director behind The Hunger Games sequels, is teaming with Paramount Pictures to adapt Pierce Brown's science-fiction novel Red Rising as a feature film, The Hollywood Reporter said in an exclusive report.
Red Rising, Brown's 2014 debut and the first book in his saga, is set on Mars, where society is divided into a rigid color-coded caste system. Darrow, a lowborn 'Red' miner, infiltrates the ruling 'Golds' to bring down the order that oppresses his people. The series has become a best-selling franchise with a global readership.
Lawrence directed The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and both Mockingjay films, as well as I Am Legend and Constantine, and more recently the prequel The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes. Casting and production dates for Red Rising have not been announced.
