Fox gets Incarceron

No, Fox 2000 Pictures is not suddenly getting incarcerated, read the spelling of the word. Rather, they are the winners of a bidding war for the rights to the novel Incarceron. Despite the mainly crime-insinuating name, the Catherine Fisher written book is about the story of a young boy who lives in a prison that is a complete society; outside the prison, the world is stuck in the 17th century and run by computers. The boy comes into contact with the warden’s daughter, who lives in her own sort of jail, and they find a key that can change everything (Variety).

The picture is being produced by John Palmero under Seed Productions with the hunt already on for writers and a director for the top-priority film. Fox 2000 Pictures currently has one of their own films out on the big screen, that being the novel adaptation of Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief.
