Dimension Films is in talks to pick up a pitch from scribe Simon Kinberg based on The Lost Years of Merlin, a popular series of books by T.A. Barron. Lorenzo di Bonaventura is attached to produce the film.
The five-book "Merlin" series, which has nearly 2 million copies in print, follows the magical adventures of Emrys, a boy with no memory of his past who will one day become the legendary Merlin, one of the most powerful wizards of all time. The books deal with themes of sacrifice, forgiveness and destiny, set against a backdrop of Welsh mythology and Arthurian lore.
Dimension is hoping to create a franchise much like the "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings" movies.
