Attempting to bring ‘The Giver’ to the silver screen… again

Variety reports that Lois Lowry’s utopian classic The Giver is getting another attempt at film life thanks to Nikki Silver and Jeff Bridges, who wants to play the titular role.

Warner Bros. purchased the film rights to the book for $1 million after Bridges and Silver had been planning the film for quite some time; they snagged the rights once again after they became available.

The Giver focuses on a preteen’s emotional troubles when having to take up the role of the Giver in his community.
