Director and producer Ridley Scott has optioned the rights to a young adult fantasy book series called Fae, which he is looking to adapt into a feature film.
The book was written by sibling authors Colet and Jasmine Abedi, and so far they have released one of three books. The story follows a character named Caroline Ellis, who on her 16th birthday "triggers the battle fated for centuries between the Dark and Light Fae, forcing her to confront who she is and discover whether her tumultuous relationship with Devilyn Reilly, who’s battling the power of the Dark within him, will destroy them both along with humanity."
Scott is set to set to produce the film now, but there's a chance he could end up directing it as well. Apparently the book has become a Twitter, Facebook, and Pinterest phenomenon. I haven't heard of it until now. The...

A descendant of Virginia Dare, the first child born in the lost colony of Roanoke, and unaware of her birthright as the heir to the throne of the Light Fae, it isn’t until Caroline begins a tumultuous relationship with Devilyn Reilly that the truth of her heritage is revealed.Devilyn...

Ridley Scott Goes Young Adult With 'Fae' & Jon Favreau To Direct Pilot For Fantasy Series 'Shannara'
Young people have disposable incomes. Lots of it. So is it any wonder that Hollywood is eager to keep the Ya adaptation train rolling? Even though for every "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games" smash hit there have been roughly two or three more big misses, it seems the dice will keep being played and today two more projects are brewing. First up, Ridley Scott has snatched up the rights to "Fae" by Colet and Jasmine Abedi. The first in a trilogy (of course), the story centers on sixteen year old Caroline Ellis who is tossed into a "battle fated for centuries between the Dark and Light Fae, forcing her to confront who she is and discover whether her tumultuous relationship with Devilyn Reilly, who’s battling the power of the Dark within him, will destroy them both along with humanity." Yeah, basically the same plot as every other Ya book.
