Screen Line Productions, part of Banijay France, has acquired the rights to Gemma Malley\u2019s young adult novel The Declaration<\/em> to adapt for television.<\/p>\n The novel will be adapted by Morgan S. Dalibert and Mathieu Lalande. Set in the year 2140, a future where longevity drugs have made it possible for people to live indefinitely, the dystopian novel follows 16-year-old Anna, a child born into an overpopulated world that views her existence as surplus. Her life in a Surplus Hall, where unwanted children are sent, takes a dramatic turn with the arrival of a new resident, Peter.<\/p>\n Alexia Laroche-Joubert, CEO of Banijay France, said: \u201cThis has been a deeply personal project for me since I first discovered this gripping novel 15 years ago and recognized its potential for adaptation. The quest for longevity is a fascinating societal concept, and the novel expertly weaves these thought-provoking ethical and moral dilemmas around life and death. Combined with its rich universe and intriguing characters, I have no doubt The Declaration<\/em> will make for a captivating series.\u201d<\/p>\n Screen Line Productions’ Frederic Lussato added: \u201cEmbarking on the journey to adapt this sci-fi novel aligns perfectly with our goal to produce premium content for young adults. The Declaration<\/em> is a real page-turner with gripping suspense but also explores universal themes of freedom and love. Bringing this compelling story to the screen promises to engage viewers like never before.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Screen Line Productions, part of Banijay France, has acquired the rights to Gemma Malley\u2019s young adult novel The Declaration to adapt for television.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":20850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[9108,9109,9110],"class_list":["post-20849","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-gemma-malley","tag-screen-line-productions","tag-the-declaration","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"\n
