Overview

• Cameron has purchased the screen rights to Joe Abercrombie’s The Devils and begun early scripting and pre-production planning.
• Abercrombie’s novel debuted on the New York Times bestseller list in May and unfolds in a vivid alternate medieval Europe populated by knights, werewolves, necromancers, and a quest to Troy.
• He lauded the book as “off its tits” and credits reading passages aloud to his wife Suzy Amis as the spark for acquiring the property.
• Positioned as a tonal shift from his conscience-driven works, The Devils is conceived as a pure genre thriller compared with his Avatar quadrilogy and Ghosts of Hiroshima drama.
• Development on The Devils will fully ramp up after Avatar: Fire and Ash hits theaters on December 19, 2025.
