According to Deadline, Michael B. Jordan’s Warner Bros-based Outlier Society has just acquired Kingdom of Souls, the first of a planned trilogy of novels penned by Rena Barron.
The series blends tales of folk magic, voodoo, and Orisha, all of which hail from Barron’s own community.
Jordan will produce a big-screen adaptation alongside Alana Mayo and Pouya Shahbazian based on a screenplay by Misanthropist Sagay.
The film is set to open in theaters on January 10, 2020.
