\n\tWarner Bros.<\/a> has acquired the rights to Tahereh Mafi<\/a>\u2019s bestselling dystopian YA series \u201cShatter Me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe movie deal aligns with the 15th anniversary of the debut of \u201cShatter Me,\u201d the first book in the original series, which has become a BookTok phenomenon with over 15 million copies sold worldwide and more than 500,000 social posts with related hashtags. \u201cShatter Me\u201d centers on Juliette Ferrars, a teenage girl with a lethal touch, as she takes on an oppressive totalitarian government called The Reestablishment. The series, a synopsis explains, follows Juliette\u2019s journey as she \u201cdiscovers her power, finds strength and navigates a dystopian world of romance and rebellion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve been tremendously lucky to have a devoted fanbase over the last fifteen years, and I\u2019m excited for the chance to bring the \u2018Shatter Me\u2019 world and characters to life in a way that will honor the fans and their love for these books,\u201d Mafi said about the film deal. \u201cWarner Bros. has been a great partner so far, and I\u2019m looking forward to creating a memorable cinematic experience that elevates the series to new heights.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tTemple Hill\u2019s Wyck Godfrey and Marty Bowen, Sunswept Entertainment\u2019s Karen Rosenfelt and Langley Park Pictures\u2019 Kevin McCormick will produce the film project. The project is the first announced under McCormick\u2019s new producing deal at the studio. Mafi will executive produce.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe \u201cShatter Me\u201d series has been published in 38 territories and 34 languages.\u200b Last year, Mafi released \u201cWatch Me,\u201d the first book in a new series set in the \u201cShatter Me\u201d universe, called \u201cThe New Republic.\u201d The book, which is set ten years after the fall of The Reestablishment, was an instant No. 1 New York Times bestseller and spent seven weeks at the top spot. The second book in the \u201cNew Republic\u201d series, \u201cRelease Me,\u201d was released in April and also became an instant No. 1 bestseller. Book three, \u201cEscape Me,\u201d is due out in September.<\/p>\n
