The story of The Selection mixes themes of The Hunger Games (as well as other YA dystopian novels like Divergent) with a premise similar to ABC’s The Bachelor.
It remains to be seen whether Warner Bros. will choose to move ahead with the film, and what form The Selection movie will take if they do so.
In the years following The Hunger Games‘ popularity, one YA novel to be in the works for an adaptation was Kiera Cass’ The Selection.
Deadline previously reported that Warner Bros. set Black List writer Katie Lovejoy to pen the script for the movie that is “described as The Hunger Games without the bloodshed.”
