Amazon Studios is working hard to solidify their name in film production. After releasing movies like “Manchester By The Sea,” “The Handmaiden,” “The Big Sick” and what seems like all of this Fall’s New York Film Festival, Amazon is continuing to expand their movie producing wings. Working with Ridley Scott as a producer, the company is working on an adaptation of the dark sci-fi book, “The Beast Is An Animal.” Click beyond the jump to read more. Written by Peternelle va Arsdale, “The Beast is an Animal” is a successful Young Adult novel released in February of this year. The novel follows a girl as she fights against what are called the “soul eaters.” Check out the synopsis below: “A girl with a secret talent must save her village from the encroaching darkness in this “achingly poetic” (Kirkus Reviews) and deeply satisfying tale. Alys was seven the first time she saw the soul eaters. "These soul eaters are twin sisters who were abandoned by their father and slowly grew into something not quite human. And they feed off of human souls. When her village was attacked, Alys was spared and sent to live in a neighboring village. There the devout people created a strict world where fear of the soul eaters—and of the Beast they believe guides them—rule village life. But the Beast is not what they think he is. And neither is Alys... “ Per Variety, the project will be directed by female co-directors Bert & Bernie. No stranger to film studios breaking the old Hollywood mold, they previously directed the YouTube Red original film “Dance Camp.” After their work in animation, commercials, video games and documentaries, Bert & Bernie have struck a relationship with Amazon Studios. In addition to “The Beast Is An Animal,” the pair has an additional Amazon script (“Troupe Zero”) they are developing as well. Ridley Scott will serve as producer alongside Scott Free (“Alien: Covenant,” “Blade Runner: 2049,” “The Man in the High Castle”). A late 2018/early 2019 release is most likely for “The Beast is an Animal.” What do you guys think? Does a Ridley Scott-produced YA novel (over at Amazon Studios) interest you?
