Remember that new WB executive, Drew Crevello? After helping develop X-Men: First Class for FOX, some fanboys thought he would be involved in bringing DC properties to the big screen. It remains to be seen whether that will happen, but Crevello’s first big move has been to secure the rights to the Dragonriders of Pern series. The story follows a civilization protected by intelligent dragons and their riders, with the fantasy landscape steeped in political conflict. Written by Hugo award-winning author Anne McCaffrey and her son Todd, the series began in 1968 and spans 22 books with additional short stories, graphic novels and games. Copperheart Entertainment previously optioned the series and set X2: X-Men United and Watchmen writer David Hayter to adapt the first book. As Deadline points out, the property sounds like a potential candidate to follow the Middle Earth films for WB.
