Kimberly Peirce to Direct Film Adaptation of Wickedly Lovely by Melissa Marr

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Kimberly Peirce (Boys Don't Cry) will direct a film adaptation of Wickedly Lovely, the first in a series of fantasy suspense books for young adults by Melissa Marr.

In the bestselling opener, published in 2007, teenaged Aislinn has been told to obey three rules: Don't stare at invisible faeries; Don't speak to invisible faeries; and Don't ever attract their attention. But it's too late. The Summer King wants to make Aislinn his Summer Queen ... at any cost.

The fourth and penultimate title in the series, Radiant Shadows, was published earlier this year.
