Fox Familly just picked up the rights to Paper Lanterns, a film written by author, humorist, and illustrator Jonny Sun, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Fox Family president Vanessa Morrison, Nate Hopper and Rachel Yeung will be overseeing for the studio.
He also has a three-book deal with Harper Perennial.
The film will be a hybrid of live action and animation “that pays homage to Chinese folklore in a way that feels contemporary and fresh,” according to Chernin Entertainment, who is producing the film.
