Entertainment One (eOne) has acquired the rights to Janice Hallett\u2019s best-selling novel The Twyford Code<\/em>, marking the first project to come out of the company\u2019s first-look deal with Paul Andrew Williams.<\/p>\n The Twyford Code<\/em> is told found-footage style via automatic transcriptions of recordings made by a former prisoner determined to discover what happened to his teacher. Miss Iles vanished on a school trip in 1983 after becoming convinced there were hidden codes in the work of a disgraced children\u2019s author.<\/p>\n eOne will serve as the studio for the television adaptation, which will be developed in partnership with Cameron Roach\u2019s company Rope Ladder. Williams will direct the series.<\/p>\n eOne will handle the global rights.<\/p>\n \u201cJanice Hallett\u2019s ingenious second novel has rightly gained a fanbase of epic proportions. We are thrilled that she has chosen to bring the book to eOne and our brilliant partner from Rope Ladder fiction, Cameron Roach,\u201d said Sharon Hughff, eOne\u2019s creative director for scripted television in the U.K. \u201cWe are also delighted that Janice will adapt the novel herself. To complete the team, we have the magnificent Paul Andrew Williams, who will executive produce and direct.\u201d<\/p>\n Hallett added, \u201cI\u2019m more than overjoyed to be working with the wonderful producers Cameron and Sharon, as well as hugely talented director Paul Andrew Williams. They are my absolute dream team, and I can\u2019t wait to mine their creativity and expertise. The story is a thrilling adventure with a huge heart, about finding treasure in whatever life throws at you\u2014we hope viewers will soon enjoy cracking the code as much as readers have.\u201d<\/p>\n Roach said, \u201cI was first introduced to Janice\u2019s brilliant imagination through a writer-mentor scheme whilst at Sky TV; her capacity for intriguing plotting and enticing characters is wholly original. To be working with Janice, Paul and the brilliant team at Entertainment One on this adaptation is not only an exciting adventure but goes to the heart of why we established Rope Ladder Fiction; supporting writers from grassroots as they evolve to emerge as world-class storytellers.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Entertainment One (eOne) has acquired the rights to Janice Hallett\u2019s best-selling novel The Twyford Code, marking the first project to come out of the company\u2019s first-look deal with Paul Andrew Williams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":18167,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2949,475,273,5932,5933,5934,5935],"class_list":["post-18166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-cameron-roach","tag-entertainment-one","tag-eone","tag-janice-hallett","tag-paul-andrew-williams","tag-rope-ladder","tag-the-twyford-code","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
