TheWrap reports that Emily Carmichael (The Adventures of Ledo and Ix) has been tapped by 20th Century Fox to direct the movie adaptation of the fan-favorite comic series Lumberjanes.
Lumberjanes was awarded the Best New Series and Best Publication for Teens at the 2015 Eisner awards.
Carmichael is an in-demand filmmaker now with the film Powerhouse set up at Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment with Colin Trevorrow and Simon Kinberg producing.
Will Widger, whose screenplay The Munchkin made the 2014 “Black List” of unproduced screenplays, wrote the first draft of the script.
