US TV Deal for Lauren Beukes’ Broken Monsters

by Jennifer on Jan 23rd, 2015 Tweet Alert! Deadline has revealed that Endemol Studios‘ scripted division Additional Dialogue has picked up the rights to develop Lauren Beukes supernatural thriller Broken Monsters as a drama series.

Broken Monsters is Additional Dialogue’s first book acquisition.

Beukes’ literary agent Oliver Munson of AM Heath congratulated the author on Facebook, saying: “Lovely to FINALLY be able to announce this. Nice one Lauren!”

Scott Aversano and Tom Gormican have been named as executive producers. Aversano was producer on a number of big-budget productions, such as The Last Airbender, Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events, The Manchurian Candidate and Team America: World Police.

Gormican and Aversano recently worked together, as producer and writer respectively, on the 2014 movie That Awkward Moment, featuring Zac Efron.

From Deadline:

“Beukes’ novel captures our culture’s fascination with horror,” Aversano said. “Her clever choice to explore this within the constructs of a supernatural novel – especially one which presents its own horribleness so elegantly – is a delightful paradox.”
