Sony Pictures has landed the screen rights to author James Patterson's series for young adults called "Maximum Ride" says Variety.The premise follows six children who are genetically altered to be 98% human and 2% bird. The kids, who are bred to fly, escape their lab and are then pursued by their scientist creators, who send a pack of part-human part-wolves called Erasers to hunt them down.
Don Payne will adapt the script while Patterson will serve as executive producer on the film.
Patterson's a great novelist to be sure--but flying bird kids hunted by wolves?
