District 9’s Terri Tatchell adapting Amanda Hocking’s Trylle trilogy

Last Updated on July 23, 2021

Media Rights Capital has purchased the rights to Amanda Hocking’s “Trylle” trilogy and will develop the supernatural tale into two films. The series, self-published by Hocking, consists of Switched, Torn and Ascend.

“Switch” centers on a teenage girl who discovers that she may not be human and finds herself in a world she never knew existed — a world both beautiful and frightening in which she’s unsure she wants to be a part of it.

DISTRICT 9 co-writer Terri Tatchell (right) has signed on to write both scripts, and she is also on board as a producer. The film will be distributed by Universal as part of their deal with Media Rights Capital.
