If you can adapt Charlotte Brontë to a rapturous critical response, any other adaptation can’t be much of a hurdle. That at least seems to be the thinking on Summit’s part, seeing as they’ve hired Jane Eyre scribe Moira Buffini for their own literary adaptation, The Night Circus. [THR]
Based on Erin Morgenstern‘s recent hit of a novel, Night Circus follows “two young illusionists battling out their fathers’ age-old rivalry amidst an enchanted circus, bound by a fated love, and destined to affect the lives of all around them.” Reading that little summary, you’d be none too surprised to hear that Harry Potter producer David Heyman is, along with Jeff Clifford, throwing in his support for the studio.
Buffini‘s work on Jane Eyre showed a great knack for condensing the kind of dense, lengthy material that any English major knows like the back of their hand.
