Something "Wicked" this way comes as sibling scribes Aaron and Matthew Benay have sold a pitch to DreamWorks based on the five-book series Wicked, written by Nancy Holder and Debbie Viguie. DreamWorks co-president of production Mark Sourian preemptively grabbed the adaptation for mid-six figures and optioned the rest of the series. Described by one person involved with the project as "'Twilight' meets 'Wanted' with witchcraft," the young-adult "Wicked" novels include "Witch," "Curse," "Legacy," "Spellbound" and "Resurrection." The books detail the struggle of Holly Cathers, who moves in with an aunt after her parents die and becomes drawn into a dark world of secrets and magic. The Benays will build the script from the first two books in the series
Unless it's "Twlight meets a Flaming Dumpster", I don't want to hear about it.
