Overview

• James Cameron’s Lightstorm Entertainment acquired the rights to Joe Abercrombie’s bestselling novel The Devils in June.
• Cameron calls the story “off its tits” and plans to embrace its darker, more playful tone as a departure from his conscience-driven projects.
• The adaptation is now in active development with Cameron slated to co-write the screenplay alongside Abercrombie.
• The Devils unfolds in an alternate medieval Europe where a ragtag band of scoundrels and monsters must escort a princess to Troy.
• The project will follow Cameron’s completion of Avatar: Fire and Ash and add tonal variety to his slate alongside his historical Hiroshima drama.
