WB Lives In Weitz's "Young World"

Deadline reports that Warner Bros has nabbed the film rights to filmmaker Chris Weitz's debut young adult novel "The Young World".

The story is set in New York City after a disaster kills everyone not aged between 12 and 21. The surviving teens are also left without any amenities.

Weitz will helm the film and produce the film with Andrew Miano.

The book will be released next year.
