Academy Award nominee Viola Davis has reportedly signed on to appear in Richard LaGravenese's ("P.S. I Love You") adaptation of Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl's novel series "Beautiful Creatures."
The adaptation has been picked up by Alcon Entertainment in association with Warner Brothers and will begin filming this spring in New Orleans. According ew.com, Davis will star in the role of Amma, who producers describe as "seer who looks after Ethan and his father after Ethan's mother's death."
"This story successfully uses the bucolic, peaceful world of the Gothic South and the stories of families that have been rooted there for generations to tell a story of fated love . . . Our intention is to create characters that are so rich, and a world that is so inviting, that audiences will desire to have the story continue beyond this movie," producer Erin Stoff ("I Am Legend," "The Matrix") said in a release.
