10 Movie And TV Spoilers We Didn’t Know Last Week (July 21st)

7. Wicked Lovely Becomes An Independent Film

Since way back in 2011 fans of Melissa Marr's urban fantasy novel have been waiting for a movie adaptation. Originally the film was set to be backed by the cinematic heft of Universal. Mary Harron had been attached as the director while Caroline Thompson was enlisted to write the screenplay. However, these plans fell through and the film was in a state of limbo until very recently.

Fans of the novel can breathe easy as in the past week the project has once again gathered momentum and has been taken over by the independent Wild West Picture Show Productions. Though it is no longer a major studio production, this switch to independent production will likely mean that Melissa Marr's novel is more faithfully captured. This means we can expect less deviations from the original plot in the movie.
