Variety reports that Unique Features have just acquired the screen rights to SHIVER, the first in a trilogy of novels from author Maggie Stiefvater. Unique also has the rights to the other two books. What’s SHIVER about? What else… Girl meets boy. Girl falls in love with boy. Girl discovers boy is a vampire werewolf. Didn’t see that coming… Here’s the actual synopsis: A bittersweet paranormal romance between a teen who becomes a wolf each winter and his girlfriend, who helps him find the secret to staying human.
Alright… so it doesn’t say if the girl knew about her boyfriend’s Winter activities but you get the picture. Anyone out there actually read SHIVER? Are we in for another TWILIGHT ripoff or could there actually be something worth checking out in this? We’ll be keeping track of SHIVER and will update you all once we hear more!
