The Detroit Free Press reported Emma Watson "conceded she couldn't put the book down. Having sworn she'd never do another franchise, her interest is a gigantic compliment...". [3]
Before the first novel was published it was announced in June of 2013 that Warner Bros. was developing a film adaptation. Emma Watson was cast to star as Princess Kelsea. By February 2014 Watson revealed in an interview that she was also attached as an executive producer. [4] It was reported that David Heyman was also attached to produce the film. [5] By December 2014 In an interview Watson commented 'My agent called and said: "I have to be honest, this is a trilogy!" I was reluctant, but when I read the book, I really wanted to spend three years in that world,' she explains. 'It's going to be intense and I am going to have to get physically very fit, build some muscle and learn how to wield a sword.'" [6] Since there has been no mention of any further development of the film, the project has likely been trapped in development hell.
